A11. Yes. Generally, the medium in which remuneration for services is paid is immaterial to the determination of whether the remuneration constitutes wages for employment tax purposes. Consequently, the fair market value of virtual currency paid as wages, measured in U.S. dollars at the date of receipt, is subject to Federal income tax withholding, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax, and Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax and must be reported on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement. See Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax GuidePDF, for information on the withholding, depositing, reporting, and paying of employment taxes.
A14. Yes. If you pay for a service using virtual currency that you hold as a capital asset, then you have exchanged a capital asset for that service and will have a capital gain or loss. For more information on capital gains and capital losses, see Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets.

This pattern began to break down in the late 1970s, giving way to a downsize-and-distribute regime of reducing costs and then distributing the freed-up cash to financial interests, particularly shareholders. By favoring value extraction over value creation, this approach has contributed to employment instability and income inequality.
A turning point was the wave of hostile takeovers that swept the country in the 1980s. Corporate raiders often claimed that the complacent leaders of the targeted companies were failing to maximize returns to shareholders. That criticism prompted boards of directors to try to align the interests of management and shareholders by making stock-based pay a much bigger component of executive compensation.
Since the early 1980s, when restrictions on open-market buybacks were greatly eased, distributions to shareholders have absorbed a huge portion of net income, leaving much less for reinvestment in companies.
Here you'll see why these Motley Fool investors would hold digital video service Netflix (NFLX) or organic food producer WhiteWave Foods (WWAV). There's the dividend-backed power of PepsiCo (PEP) and the innovative growth of Tesla Motors (TSLA), not to mention the brand power of Under Armour (UA) and the strong insider ownership in Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG).
Tamara Walsh picks Tesla Motors: Investing in high-growth stocks and letting them run for years on end is one of the best ways to achieve outsized gains in the stock market. That's why Tesla Motors is one of my favorite stocks for the next decade. Not only is the electric-car maker still in the early stages of its growth story, but it's also on track to put its mass market Gen III car on the road by 2017. The build out of Tesla's massive Gigafactory is yet another reason for investors to own this stock for the long haul.
The Gigafactory is intended to enable Tesla to produce enough lithium-ion cells by 2020 to power 500,000 electric cars annually. While this is still years away, it would ultimately lower the cost of batteries and allow Tesla to sell its Gen 3 model to the masses -- rewarding long-term shareholders in the process. There are, of course, countless execution risks involved in this strategy.
However, shareholders can rest easy knowing the company is in goods hands. Tesla's visionary chief executive, Elon Musk, has a track record of proving the critics wrong and overdelivering on expectations. He is a value creator. Under Musk's leadership, Tesla Motors has grown from a niche upstart automaker into one of the most disruptive car companies on the planet.
The stock won't deliver another 60-fold value increase over the next decade (if it did, we'd be looking at a monstrous $1.7 trillion market cap), but Netflix is most certainly poised to continue crushing the market. In fact, based on what we know today, 10 years from today just might be the perfect holding period for this exploding growth stock.
Lastly, PepsiCo is one of the premier dividend stocks in existence. The stock currently yields 2.8%, and Pepsi has raised its dividend for 43 consecutive years -- most recently a strong 7% payout increase, which is well above inflation.
Rich Duprey picks WhiteWave Foods: Buying and never selling is Warren Buffett's holding period for a stock, which is why I too look for companies I can hold for the very long term. With this in mind, I feel comfortable saying organic foods producer WhiteWave Foods can be comfortably held for at least the next decade. I received my shares of WhiteWave as part of its spinoff from Dean Foods (DF) in 2013 and have watched as they have risen more than two-and-a-half times since then. There's good reason to think there's much more growth ahead.
Organic food sales hit an estimated $42 billion in 2014, and are expected to continue growing at a near 16% compound annual rate through 2020. WhiteWave Foods is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the heightened awareness of and demand for plant-based food and beverages.
Net sales of PBBs grew 14% last year, with organic sales accounting for 10% of that growth, and its Silk brand of beverages -- the No. 1 brand in the market -- jumped 15% year over year. Fresh food sales, the segment comprising last year's acquisition of organic salads, fruits, and vegetables producer Earthbound Farm, hit $575 million in 2014.
Capitalizing on global growth potential, WhiteWave's European food and beverages division recorded 22% growth in FY 2014 from the year-ago period. Coupled with its partnership with one of China's largest dairy producers, Mengniu Dairy, the organics producer has unique positioning in the market that should keep it on a growth trajectory for years to come.
The Eurosystem started to purchase securities under the asset purchase programmes of its APP in October 2014. The Governing Council recalibrated the overall net purchases under these programmes from time to time as follows:
As announced in July 2022, the Eurosystem aims to gradually decarbonise its corporate bond holdings, on a path aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement. To that end, the Eurosystem will tilt these purchases towards issuers with better climate performance through the reinvestment of the sizeable redemptions expected over the coming years.
Between 21 November 2014 and 19 December 2018 the Eurosystem conducted net purchases of asset-backed securities under the asset-backed securities purchase programme (ABSPP). From January to October 2019 the Eurosystem only reinvested the principal payments from maturing securities held in the ABSPP portfolio. Purchases of securities under the ABSPP were restarted on 1 November 2019 and continued until the end of June 2022. Between July 2022 and February 2023, the Eurosystem aimed to fully reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities. From March 2023 the Eurosystem only partially reinvests the principal payments from maturing ABSs.
Between 20 October 2014 and 19 December 2018 the Eurosystem conducted net purchases of covered bonds under a third covered bond purchase programme (CBPP3). From January to October 2019 the Eurosystem only reinvested the principal payments from maturing securities held in the CBPP3 portfolio. Purchases of securities under the CBPP3 were restarted on 1 November 2019 and continued until the end of June 2022. Between July 2022 and February 2023 the Eurosystem aimed to fully reinvest the principal payments from maturing securities. From March 2023 the Eurosystem only partially reinvests the principal payments from maturing CBPP3 securities.
With a view to leaving liquidity conditions unaffected by the programme, the Eurosystem re-absorbed the liquidity provided through the SMP by means of weekly liquidity-absorbing operations until June 2014. On 5 June 2014 the ECB suspended the weekly fine-tuning operations sterilising the liquidity injected by the programme and the last operation was allotted on 10 June 2014.
A transfer agent for a publicly held company keeps records of stock held by registered shareholders, including shares held in certificate form. When stock changes hands, the transfer agent updates the record of ownership of the stock. The transfer agent does not maintain records of shares bought and sold through brokerage accounts and held in "street name." Such records are maintained by the specific brokerages through which shares are bought and sold.
The transfer agent is also responsible for escheatment, which is the legally-required process of transferring unclaimed property to the state. If you are a registered shareholder of Apple stock, it is critical that you maintain current contact information with the transfer agent; otherwise, you are at risk of having your shares escheated. If you hold your shares through a brokerage account, you should ensure that your address is current with your brokerage firm.
For holdings under Unrealized gains & losses, an indication of whether the shares are covered or noncovered should appear immediately beneath "Show details." For holdings under Realized gains & losses, shares are considered to be covered if there's a blank space under the acquisition date. 041b061a72
