The correct answer is D. The daily price correlation between the S&P 500 and the total stock market index is over 99%. While the total stock market does have small-cap and mid-cap exposure that the S&P 500 does not have, funds tracking either index would be reasonable choices for the U.S. stock component of an investor’s portfolio.

The correct answer is B. A covered call strategy consists of selling a call option while holding the underlying stock. If the stock price closes above the strike price at the expiration date, the option will be exercised and you will sell the stock at the strike price (which is usually selected to be higher than the current stock price). If it closes below the strike price, then the option expires worthless and you collect the premium. While a covered call might appear to be a win-win strategy, you cap much of your upside if the stock closes significantly above the strike price.

The correct answer is D. Capital gains taxes are only paid on investment profits when shares are sold. This provides a strong incentive to minimize trading in taxable accounts. Taxes are due on dividends in the tax year they are paid by the company.

The correct answer is B. Since World War II, the stock market has had a correction approximately once every 16 months. You should be mentally prepared to handle these types of volatile moves in the stock market and stay the course.

The correct answer is A. Backtesting is used by some investors or traders to assess how a proposed trading strategy would have performed using historical data. However, just like retrospective research in medicine, it is prone to multiple hypothesis testing errors (p-hacking) and publication bias. Backtested trading strategies that appear profitable using historical data may not prove to be profitable if used in the future.

The correct answer is B. The maximum Roth IRA contribution in 2018 is $5,500. The maximum HSA contribution for a family on a high-deductible health plan is $6,900. The maximum employee 401(k) contribution in 2018 is $18,500.

The correct answer is C. Contrary to popular belief, the loan forgiveness amount once you complete the PSLF program is not subject to federal taxes. The majority of (but not all) hospital employed positions would qualify for PSLF. The 120 months of qualifying payments do not necessarily begin when you formally enroll in the program; if you are making qualifying loan payments, then you can still apply them to PSLF retroactively if you sign up for the program later. If you are in the PSLF program, you should generally minimize your student loan payments to maximize the amount of eventual loan forgiveness.

[socialpoll id=”2523466″]
The correct answer is C. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased the number of families who are eligible for the child tax credit by increasing the income phaseout level from $110,000 to $400,000. The maximum child tax credit is $2,000 per child, and you lose $50 in tax credit for every $1,000 in modified adjusted gross income above $400,000. Therefore, a partial credit can be claimed by married taxpayers earning $400,001-$440,000. This means that many more attending physicians will be eligible for the child tax credit as a result of the tax cut.
[socialpoll id=”2523467″]
The correct answer is D. In an hourly rate financial advisory model, the client pays the advisor per hour of work. This is similar to how lawyers charge for their services. In this model, financial advisors are incentivized to work and bill as many hours as possible. On the other hand, an assets-under-management model provides only indirect incentives to do extra work for clients since they are paid a percentage of assets regardless of how many hours are spent managing the client’s finances.

What do you think? How’d you do on the quiz?
Thank you for doing this in a quiz format…I’m one of those odd-balls who likes to do quizzes to learn…
You’re welcome — these quizzes will likely become a regular part of my post rotation.
I like the quizzes, too. Some of the answers are surprising!
I am glad the quizzes are challenging you. I like to include a mix of easy questions and more esoteric questions to challenge all readers.
I love these WSP.
Mostly validating for me.
Point on #7: Roth IRA can go up to $6,500 for those over 50. Also you can contribute for a non-working spouse. That allows another $5,500 or $6,500 depending on the spouse’s age.
Excellent points.

In bitcoin investment schemes, scammers contact investors claiming to be seasoned “investment managers.” As part of the scheme, the so-called investment managers claim to have made millions investing in cryptocurrency and promise their victims that they will make money with investments. Soon after making deposits, victims are asked for more payment which they eventually are unable to withdraw or communicate with the investment managers. It is extremely difficult for police to recover funds once they have been transferred to these fake investment companies, therefore, crypto recovery services like SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY Contractors come in handy. Essentially, SWIFT SPY ASSETS RECOVERY began as a low key operation targeting fake exchange platforms that scam innocent naive investors. They would track down their identity and return the deposits to the victims anonymously. Recently, they created a channel through which victims can approach them to present their individual cases. If you have encountered such investment platforms or know a victim, contact them through email: (swiftrecoveryservice006 AT gmail .com) or WhatsApp number: +1 (786) 684‑0501. Or Telegram: SWIFT_HACKING. Visit their website at https://swiftspyassetsrecovery.com to get the help you need with finances and crypto.
