George & Jerry Invest In Stocks | The Stock Tip | Seinfeld

Not only did George have $5K to his name..... it was actually a "spare" $5K he could afford to invest. The last time in the series he had any money.

[@albertmccready478]

He was going to go for 10k

You cut out the best parts: The moment George hoplessly throws himself on the couch. And Jerry's monologue: "I'm not an investor. People always tell me, you should have your money working for you. I've decided I'll do the work. I'm gonna let the money relax."

3:21 I love those long, drawn out dinners with friends on Fridays or Saturdays. Everyone is still chatting and enjoying the company, some are still nibbling, some are enjoying their buzz. Then after you pay the bill, you have the option of moving the party to a bar/lounge, or taking it back to someone’s place, or just calling it a night and heading home because that long dinner was enough.

So when you sell stocks you end owing more on taxes? Or is it when you buy and sell?
