Taxes and The Gondola SafeTank
Avoiding losses is more important than chasing gains.”
Sage Investor 
Taxes are something you can anticipate, control and reduce.
With a Gondola SafeTankSM, investors no longer have to play a guessing game of how much taxes will reduce their hard-earned gains.
With a Gondola SafeTank, we select products where returns are a feature.
How we do it.

We have leveraged our deep understanding of investing tools to find a class of investments that are tax-free and maximize an investor's potential return within those investments. We take advantage of Section 7702. It is our knowledge of this that has allowed us to create Gondola’s SafeTankSM as a tax free way to save.

Why Taxes Are An Investing Killer:

There’s a simple truth in investing: the more gains you keep, the more gains you make. Yet, at every turn, investors fail to understand just how much they are losing to taxes today, and how much they could lose to taxes in the future.

Investors don't naturally factor in taxes when they look at a statement. That means, they always bring home less than they think they do.
Tax Loss Today: 

Say you took a drawdown from your investment account. That’s a cool 20-50% you’re going to have to pay no matter what. Think about that: that could be half of the gains you made on that investment. Even if you were able to minimize taxes as much as possible, within a traditional retirement strategy, you’re still giving away a lot. 

Now what if you’re over 65, and you start to draw down your supposedly tax-advantaged IRA or 401(k). YOU’RE PAYING TAXES ON THOSE GAINS! The tax-advantaged part only applies to the money going in, not the money coming out.
Tax Loss Tomorrow:

If past history is any indicator, taxes will probably be more in the future than they are today.

Here’s what’s crazy: the average tax rate is ~50%. While we don’t pay that today, we don’t know where taxes will go tomorrow, and there’s no guarantee they won’t go up.

A simple way to avoid this is to just not have to worry about taxes. Adding to this dynamic is the fact that as an investor grows more and more wealthy, he or she hits a higher tax bracket and pays more.
