There it laid all soaking wetIt’s waterlogged and drenchedIt rested on the welcome mat
This packet’s thirst was quenched.
She grabbed the soggy paper sheafIt dripped across the tileThere was no hesitationShe placed it in the file.
Next notice met resistanceThe wind, it really pushes
She found it two weeks laterIt was wedged among the bushes.
Then they found it taped securely,That’s message number three,
Adhered upon their entrance doorReply A.S.A.P.
He ambled in one eveningPhone jingled on the wall
Reluctantly, he picked it upIt was the census call.
He knows it is his dutyIt’s in the constitution
How many in your household?That’s his only contribution.
“There’s me and the missusAnd how long have we been livin’?”
It was quite surprisingTheir ages, they were given.
“Then Bob, he’s almost twelveSue is almost four
Bert, he must be fiveHe was born the year before.”
His loving wife now chucklesWhile the census taker logs
She said, “Honey, I’m not really sure,Should you include your dogs?”
He said, “They’re U.S. border colliesA symbol like the eagles
They’ll not go unrecordedThey’re not illegal beagles.”

Money Talks
Joint tenants With Right of suRvivoRshipundeRstanding Cost Basis at death
Calculating the step-up in basis of investments at death is usually not that difficult. All individually owned capital assets included in a deceased person’s estate receive a new cost basis, generally valued as of the date of death. However, jointly owned property can be trickier.
First, let’s cover the step-up in basis of property held between husband and wife in joint tenant with right of survivorship form, which also applies to tenants by the entirety. When the only joint tenants are husband and wife, half of the fair market value at date of death is included in the decedent’s estate and the surviving spouse’s new basis will equal half the total pre-death basis and half the fair market value at date of death. The formula looks like this:
New basis = (Date-of-death fair market value + Old basis) / 2
Here’s a practical example to help determine the new basis: At the time of Tom’s death, he and his wife, Nancy, owned a portfolio of common stocks as joint tenants. Tom paid $5,000, and Nancy $11,000, of the original $16,000 purchase price. When Tom died, the stock was worth $22,000, and Nancy acquired Tom’s interest by right of survivorship. Four months later she sold the stock for $29,000. Nancy will realize a long-term gain of $10,000. Nancy’s basis is $19,000, the sum of $8,000 -half the original basis- plus $11,000 comprised of Tom’s half interest included in his estate.
Tom and Nancy’s portfolio
Shares Original price Total basis Fair mkt value at death New basis
100 $10 $1,000 $2,000 $1,500 100 $20 $2,000 $2,500 $2,250 100 $30 $3,000 $4,000 $3,500 100 $40 $4,000 $5,000 $4,500 100 $60 $6,000 $8,500 $7,250 $16,000 $22,000 $19,000Each position received a half step-up in cost basis. Nancy is unable to claim a full step-up on certain assets and no step-up on other assets; each share receives a one-half step up equally.
Notice that even though the spouse’s contributed different amounts to the original $16,000, they both own an equal 50% share of the property for inclusion in their estates. This is unique to husband and wife joint tenant with right of survivorship property as we will see later in the article.
Those in community property states must consider an interesting twist. The new basis in community property is fair market value at the date of death for both halves of the community property, even though only half is included in the decedent spouse’s estate. This translates into a full step-up in cost basis at the first spouse’s death which is certainly simple enough to determine and very advantageous for the surviving spouse.
People who own property as joint tenants with right of survivorship and are not married go by the consideration furnished rule. This rule states that the decedent’s gross estate includes that portion of the property as the decedent’s share of the consideration, or price paid for the property, bears to the total consideration. The new basis for each surviving co-owner’s interest is his or her old basis plus an increase for his or her proportional share of the amount included in the decedent’s estate.
Example: Years ago, brothers Steve and Stan purchased stock for $10,000, taking title as joint tenants. Steve paid $6,000 and Stan paid $4,000 towards the purchase. At Steve’s death the stock was worth $20,000. Included in Steve’s gross estate is 60% of the stock’s value because that corresponds to his share of the consideration paid for the stock, even though property law recognized that he owned 50% of the stock immediately before death. Stan’s new basis would be $16,000, which is the amount included in Steve’s estate of $12,000 plus Stan’s $4,000 basis in his pre-death interest in the property.
Hopefully this article has shed some light on a commonly misunderstood area. Contact a Financial Advisor to discuss further how joint tenant with right of survivorship cost basis may apply to you.

Yes,believeitornot,thosebrown ticks we commonly see onus and our animals CAN causeparalysis!We had a Pomeraniancome to the clinic just last weekthat had lost the ability to use itshind limbs. The mobility of theanimal was uncoordinated andseemed to flop like a fish whenit tried to go forward. Uponexamination a large tick wasdiscovered attached to the bellyand two other small ticks underthat. This particular species ofticks that were on the Pom hadsecreted a toxin that affected thenervous system. The ownersof the Pom had responded in atimely manner and this dog madea recovery after the ticks wereremoved. Hadthe ticks not beenremoved whenthey were, thecondition couldhave ascendedup the body andaffected the frontlimbs and even
respiration. The condition canworsen very rapidly.It should benoted that not all ticks secrete atoxin, but we have some in thispart of the country that do. Last spring a calf wasbrought into the clinic because ithad lost its ability to walk. Wediscovered ticks on it and applieda tick product. The calf made afull recovery after removing theticks. With dogs it is a verygood idea to apply a preventativeflea and tick medication. It iseasy to apply, effective for onewhole month and repels flies andmosquitoes too.

FROM THE MARKETING TOOLBOX:by Tricia Kimmel
Write an Ad that Sells Do you know how to create an ad for your business?Oneof the most common things we hear from businesses who advertise inTricia’s Trader is, “Just write something up for me.”While this methodof copywriting allows for great input from our talented advertiser reps,it doesn’t necessarily follow an effective marketing plan.Fortunately,there are a few simple things a business can do to take the reins indeveloping ad copy. There are basically two questions to answer when writingad copy.What . . . and How?The ‘what’ is your marketing strategy:what you’re selling, who you’re selling to, and what sets your businessand your product apart.The ‘how’ is the execution of that strategy:images, language, layout and media placement (radio, print, television,
etc.).Overall, consider that you’re“talking” to real people about their realneeds in your advertising. Slogans, sometimes called taglines among other things, can add apowerful punch to your ads.Not onlyare slogans a key branding element, the
very nature of a slogan mandates that it sends a clear, concise messagein very few words.This is important when you’re trying to make themost of every dollar of ad space you purchase.If you have a slogan ortag line, use it on everything.If you don’t have one, create one. Here is a list of a few tips and tricks to keep up your sleevewhen developing advertising copy.
Focus on only ONE main idea or unique selling point.Keep it simple and don’t use fancy words.Always include a “call to action”.Exactly what do you wantyour consumer to do?Avoid using adjectives and adverbs.Use an effective slogan.Talk to your consumer in their own style of speaking.Avoid things that can distract from your message, such asspelling errors, lack of white space, slang, etc.Copy can be tested and rewritten over and over until it’s perfect.
Remember, writing ad copy is not the same as ad design.No ad will work well if there’s too much copy for the space available.Make your ad copy strong, and keep it simple and short, no matterwhat size/length ad you purchase.In any form of media you get alimited amount of your reader’s attention, so make it count by offeringa simple, clear message.
