I never meant to suggest that one should not invest to make money...just because you'll have to pay taxes on the gain. What I was trying to get at is the result of whatever happens at the end of the investment should be figured into the total ROI.
The other part of my post was in regards to how to figure out the value of an investment, any investment. And what really drives the value of said investment up or down?
I was mistaken on what I was thinking about Estate Taxes. For some reason I forgot that the Tax Act of 2012 extended the 5 million dollar exemption on estates. For a while there it was looking like it was going to revert back to 1 million dollars. That takes Estate Taxes out of the question for the most part.
