2016 Recession Strategy

1. My open positions are showing significant losses. My decision is to treat these all as long term positions. I am likely to have to wait 2-3 years for these to show profits. The existing positions are well diversified already, so can be expected to vary considerably.  Based on the capital gains from 2015, I could also expect 2-3% return via capital gains.

2. Reinvest within available capital in my brokerage fund using smaller amounts. I have approx $10,000 uninvested. Split that between five funds when you think the market is near the bottom.

3. Dollar cost average into an index fund using my fortnightly contributions. This should smooth out some of the volatility.

5. Increase my savings rate based on my payrise. From 6% to 8%

Horrific January

What a horrible three weeks this has been.

On top of all the losses from 2015, global markets dived in January by nearly 10%.

My 401K saw all my contributions from the entire 2015 turn into losses. A massive sea of red in my account that will take all of 2016 to recover.

These lurching swings eat away at my confidence daily, leading me to feel exhausted and hopeless. The horror of the presidential election, the sexual abuse in Cologne, it's just been a terrible start to 2015 from every respect. It feels like all good intentions of 2015 are being attacked by hideous people around the world. Trump, Palin, moronic Tea Party Republicans, sexually primative Syrian refugees, the Koch brothers. It's all just disgusting, like all the awful energies of the world are just being fueled by some awful destructive energy right now.

Even my garden seems to be rebelling against me, with a huge die off of my beautiful apintinea getting worse and covering the ground in rotting vegetation.

Sylvia had to borrow money just before the end of the year just to make her credit card payments and avoid huge fees. She used all the cash I received from the BMW repair and her parents gifts to me.

 I feel sucked dry by the constant demands of my family, the inability of my wife and kids to help sufficiently around the house,  and the uncontrolled nature of the assets that underpin our net worth. It makes the future seem just depressing and hopeless.

I did some great work during the holidays redesigning my financial independence plan, only to see all that energy destroyed by the markets. Completely depressing.

Depreciation

IRS Website

The Basics

The following section discusses the information you will need to have about the rental property and the decisions to be made before figuring your depreciation deduction.

What Rental Property Can Be Depreciated?

You can depreciate your property if it meets all the following requirements.
  • You own the property.
  • You use the property in your business or income-producing activity (such as rental property).
  • The property has a determinable useful life.
  • The property is expected to last more than one year.
Property you own.   To claim depreciation, you usually must be the owner of the property. You are considered to be the owner of property even if it is subject to a debt.

Property having a determinable useful life.   To be depreciable, your property must have a determinable useful life. This means that it must be something that wears out, decays, gets used up, becomes obsolete, or loses its value from natural causes.

ACRS Depreciation

Most business and investment property placed in service after 1986 is depreciated using MACRS.
This section explains how to determine which MACRS depreciation system applies to your property. It also discusses other information you need to know before you can figure depreciation under MACRS. This information includes the property's:
  • Recovery class,
  • Applicable recovery period,
  • Convention,
  • Placed-in-service date,
  • Basis for depreciation, and
  • Depreciation method.

Depreciation Systems

MACRS consists of two systems that determine how you depreciate your property—the General Depreciation System (GDS) and the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS). You must use GDS unless you are specifically required by law to use ADS or you elect to use ADS.
