I look in my mailbox,
A lovely Surprise,
From the senior center,
A package has arrived

I unwrap the green sheets,
Then squeal with delight,
With financial statements,
The net income ties,

I then flip to the perms,
Starting with M&E,
My stomach starts growling,
So I move on hurriedly

What large penalty numbers,
These rule breaking folks,
A few fines here and there,
To them it's a joke

Book depreciation,
Less than tax I see,
DTL is created,
As favorable as can be
...

Now change in balance M's,
No need to break a sweat,
Just takes the years' difference,
And then they're all set

The many adjustments,
Put my mind in a bad state,
The clock strikes 4:02,
I can barely stay awake

One-sixty-three Jay,
'Tis no reason for stress,
I mark this as "open",
And pass on this mess

I check taxable income,
M-one, two, and three,
I slug through the BS,
Like a busy worker bee

It is finished at last,
My partner will be pleased,
Though the work has been taxing,
Now my children I can feed

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?
