Episode V: The Persian Empire Strikes Back

[CNCAppsJames]

I inherited $100K worth of Exxon in 2015.
I let it ride, reinvesting the dividends and paying income taxes on those dividends.
In December 2025 I sold enough to pay cash for our retirement home and still have $120K worth of Exxon left.
The capital gains taxes on that stock sale were ugly, but the way I look at it, I still have the initial inheritance and a free house.

Now get off my lawn!

Free addition.

This is not a war
It is a hostile takeover.

It's a war - you know it, everyone knows it. Take the party line any further and you'll fall in.
