Investing by Accident: April 2014
http://investingbyaccident.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, April 30, 2014. I-PRAY for Daled until Mem. This week we continue our in-depth analysis of the stocks in the I-PRAY index. It goes without saying that you can buy these stocks to get exposure to the Israeli stock market without the fear of Getting Eaten by PFIC. I certainly would not be mentioning this in order to provide more links for internet search engines to find. We have already been experts in Willi Food. Kafrit sounds like a restaurant, but i...

Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, November 12, 2014. How to Run Away from a Keren Hishtalmut. But first, in this final blog about whether the Keren Hishtalmut is a PFIC, I present you with Investing by Accident’s not-at-all-proven methods for running away from the PFIC inside of your Keren Hishtalmut. Also, by a horrible act of ill-luck, you can also use the same methods to run away from the PFIC inside of your Israeli pension. Method #1: Renounce Your Citizenship. Frankly, it would ...

Investing by Accident: March 2014

Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, March 26, 2014. The Order of Allocation. I’m not all that good at “allocating investments.” However, I have come up with some ideas that are at least good enough to write a blog about. Allocating your investments is very much like shopping for Pesach. It’s very stressful and there are no guarantees. However, the better you plan your menus, the more likely it is that you will be successful at avoiding Rami Levi the night before the seder. This makes u...

Investing by Accident: June 2014
http://investingbyaccident.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, June 25, 2014. I have fielded several accidental questions recently about cars. I don’t know why people are asking me. I think cars are terrible investments. They are expensive and lose value constantly. My philosophy with cars is similar to my philosophy with Israeli bank accounts: try to have the absolute minimum that you need for the lowest price that you can find. Ideally, you should have no bank accounts and no cars. In other words, this is a ve...

Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Keren Hishtalmut U.S. Tax Treatment: Part II. Last week, I presented the case that the Keren Hishtalmut – like an Israeli pension – would be treated like an employees’ trust for U.S. tax purposes. This week, I ask several non-expert questions about this. 1 Is a Keren Hishtalmut really an employees’ trust? Perhaps you would argue that a pension is different because it has a set of clear and strict government regulations which make ...

Investing by Accident: July 2014

Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Keren Hishtalmut: Part II. 8220;Keren Hishtalmut” means “education fund,” but what does it have to do with education? Nothing. It was originally created to help people save for education expenses and was later expanded. You can still use it to save for education. In that case, instead of waiting 6 years to withdraw the money tax free, you can do so after just 3 years. Where can I invest the money? How do I choose which company to use?

Investing by Accident: November 2014
http://investingbyaccident.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Because your money should make aliyah, too! Wednesday, November 26, 2014. In this exciting continuation of being wrong, I present you with the second time in the past few weeks that I have been wrong. Before last week, I would have said that my second wrong is not very surprising for a blog that does everything by accident. However, now that I am the authoritative source on American ex-pat taxation in Israel, this mistake is deeply disappointing. In Running Away from a PFIC. If you prefer it that way) th...
