| You are answering a question in the present tense but I assume any discussion of bringing these shows to Broadway contemplated that it would have happened relatively contemporaneously, when the tax landscape was hugely different. Also, regarding rental property (off point but since you offered it), you leave out the fact that passive loss deductions are generally meaningless because of the extremely low maximum deduction. | |

| You're right. I assumed in the case of rental property that you would be an active investor, not in a REIT. Rental property was not off-topic 'cause I used it as an example of tax write offs that are desirable. Losing real money affects your taxes, sure, but you still lose money. | |

| I wasn't intending to criticize you for the example. I just didn't (and don't) want to go off on a tangent. Plus, the mechanics and strategies of passive losses are not susceptible to being understood from a few sentences on a chat board. While it is correct that no one invests in a production to lose, taxes very much factor into one's aversion to losing money. I'll just add one thing which is that investing in a REIT is just one was to participate passively in real estate. | |

| Hopefully before the 1968 film of "The Producers" spelled it out, folks were looking to make money by producing what they thought might be a hit | |
