Hi sharks,

How one can come to know whether the BgC is successful.

Want to improve my verbal and written communication skills. I hear reading more would help but I don’t read as much as I used to. So I’m wondering what books would help with that? Should I just read books that tickle my fancy like suspense and true crime novels? Help! Welcome to all book recommendations.

Best advice I can offer: don’t aim for good, aim for good enough.

Had a disagreement with someone today, still feel confident, but curious what people think. Simple -all equity partners/no profits interest, would you
A) allocate state income/losses/diff effective pro rata to the partner's share of federal income/loss - by the time the project closes to $0, all federal /state differences end up closed to $0, no state diff remains for each partner
B) maintain separate state capital accounts for purposes of determining target allocation of the state income/loss
