    Yes I am still based in New Town.
    For the last 3 weeks I've been staging at the Williston Love's while working south of Epping, but tomorrow I'll be back in New Town for a period of time.

    I use Whiting's P. Evitt SWD off the 1804 and see several Power Fuels drivers there daily. Are you there?

    Well, everbody wants to be in or is moving to San Antonio!! (top 3 fastest growing cities) I found my 1st. driving job on Craiglsist in Watford City during the boom (4yrs ago.)

    Now Craigslist is full of scams. They even did a study on it a few months back...but their are still a few decent postings you can find after doing alot of weeding.

    Yeah, i was working some wells just north of Watford last night, going to the alati disposal, along with the white owl and the rink. I haven't done production for awhile, I mostly haul wet and dry drill cuttings, with a supervac or side dump, it's been awhile since I've been to Williston

    I am only chiming in on the mention of the "401k"

    Just a note for all of you looking NOT to lose money. I still have my Life Insurance license though I dont use it to sell to anyone any longer, I only write my own insurance contracts and retirement plans so PLEASE DO NOT ask me to be your rep. I will refuse.


    On the 401(k) ; You may still think that the 401k is your savior for retirement...well...IT IS NOT.
    It is only another bankers dream to steal your hard earned cash over TIME.

    Investing your money into a 401k only does one thing. It puts your money on the "Market". Stocks go down YOUR RETIREMENT GOES DOWN.

    Oh and as for that so called "Tax Advantage". They pitch to you that you get put into a "Lower Tax Bracket" TODAY right?
    Have you ever stopped to think about what direction taxes are going in the future?
    If you do your research on American Federal Income tax rates since 1913, you will find that our current tax rates are at the lowest they have ever been since the decline. Now ask yourself this:
    Q) Do you think tax rates are going UP or DOWN in your future?
    I am no tax analyst, but I along with the rest of country believe are taxes are going UP in our future and not down.
    Sure you can argue the other direction, but once you drop your pride Im sure we can agree that our current government couldnt give a two ####s about any one of us (Isnt that why we are truckers? Freedom?)

    So, that fancy tax advantage that they are throwing you is only going to get you into trouble once you do reach that magic age of "59 1/2"
    Take this scenario:

    ie: Your a farmer and you and I walk to home depot and buy a $100 bag of seeds.
    Now for the sake of argument we know that once you plant this seed in your field that your crop yield will grow to $1,000,000 USD.
    Now, you HAVE to pay tax on one of these ONCE and only ONCE.
    Would you:
    A) Want to pay 33% (Current Fed Income Tax) on your $100 bag of seed?
    or
    B) Pay "?%" (Unknown Fed Income Tax later) on your $1,000,000 harvest?

    Lets just assume that our taxes NEVER went up a single percent (Even though Im sure we can all agree that they WILL be going UP)
    If you choose to go with a 401(k) what you are agreeing to is to PAY TAX LATER ON YOUR HARVEST.
    If you choose to pay tax NOW then you pay the tax now and get it over with.

    Option A you would pay $33 tax on your $100 bag of seed and you get to keep the remaining $999,967 harvest.

    If you chose to stick with that terrible 401(k) you would be paying 33% TAX on that shiny $1,000,000 HARVEST meaning you end up with $670,000!!!
    Not to mention, AGAIN, when you have your money in a 401(k) your money is 100% EXPOSED!

    Exposed in the investment world means "AT RISK". Market goes down YOU GO DOWN, Market goes up you go up. But again, you pay the tax on your HARVEST!!! (Principal + INTEREST)

    Take my advice or dont, I dont really care. I only care about me and my family. And when I was in the insurance business I finally got to look at my parents retirement plan.
    Guess what, of their $1.2M they had saved, $685,000 was LOST to the stock market crash of 2001, 2008 and 2013. Oh yeah, and that $515,000 that remained...GUESS WHAT?
    THEY STILL HAD TO PAY TAX ON THAT!!!
    That left them with $345,050 dollars to rollover into a MUCH better product called an I.U.L.

    Again, I will repeat, I AM NO LONGER HELPING PEOPLE INVEST! I honestly got tired of hearing you sheep talk about how awesome the 401k is and walking out of my office. Guess what, those people all lost another 12% of their retirement in 2015. I dont care what you reply to this, I wont even reply. Simply because Ive done my homework, I have my Insurance License which means I am EDUCATED on this ####.
    So please, save yourself the embarrassment with trying to argue with me because I just wont participate.

    However, if this thread has shined any type of light for you and you currently have a 401k. I would HIGHLY advise you cash out now and take the 10% Fed penalty for early withdraw if under 59 1/2, STATE TAX hit as well as the current Federal 33% income tax hit. If your like me and my parents and you live in California, then you are looking at taking a 53% HIT on that withdraw.
    Drastic I know, but remember. Every day you leave your money in that ######## UNTESTED 401k (Created in the 90's) that was NEVER NEVER NEVER meant to be a retirement plan for the "Employee"
    remember, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY! And you will NEVER make it back.

    Now, for all of you (few) people left that still want to think "Oh, well I lost only 10% last year in my 401k BUT I MADE 10% THIS YEAR!!"
    That means your even right...?
    guess again. NO YOUR NOT EVEN. In fact your still in the LOSS COLUMN.

    ie: I give you a $100 to invest in the stock market (Same as the 401k) and in the 1st year your stock goes down 50%.
    This leaves you with $50 right?

    Good stay with me.

    Now in year 2 your stock goes back UP 50%...How much do you have now...?

    IF you answer that your even and you have that $100 again, well, guess again.
    Because the stock market only goes off of where you are "AT" and NOT where you "WERE".

    Meaning, in year 2 you are AT $50.
    50% of $50 is.......???????? YUP Thats right, is only +$25. Leaving YOU with $75 and still $25 in the LOSS COLUMN.

    This tells us that for every 1% you LOSE, that means you have to make 2% just to BREAK EVEN.

    Now, ask yourself this.
    Question: When have you EVER seen the stock market at 100% or Greater?????


    NEVER


    The End. and Good luck with your retirement savings Ladies and Gents (Fellow Truckers).
    Always remember to stay safe on the road and always remember not to trust your government. They are always trying to #### us.

    Invest your money into a "Indexed universal Life Insurance Policy"

    or dont.

    I really could careless which is why I quit selling insurance. There are just way to many sheep that are unwilling to lift the wool off of their eyes and I do NOT have the energy to keep trying to save people. Ive accepted that this country just cant be saved. SO, im looking out for me and my family THATS IT.
    This information is just because it does still hurt me a little to see people get lied to. So, ive done my part and mentioned this all to you. It is up to you what you do with it. Good luck!

    This is Pistol Pete, Over & OUT!

    2 videos that have nothing to do with making me money and have nothing to do with any company I have ever worked for.

    DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK FOLKS
    Im an American, which means I have to do my part to spread the TRUTH. Its on you to believe it or not.

    Yes I realize I only have 1 message on my tracking. I will have you know I have had 3 different log ins here that all seem to not be able to log in any longer.
    JPLB was my first log in here. just an FYI.

    again, I am NOT selling anything here. Just passing free information.

    But if you want to verify I do have my license so that you know I am a professional, that is also free information you can look up on California Department of Insurance website.
    http://www.insurance.ca.gov/0200-industry/
    If you decide to search my name yourself on their website, just make sure to EXCLUDE any Commas between names.

    Search "Dominguez P" to get shortest list.

    My license # is OK46721
    My Full name is Peter Joseph Dominguez III. The "III" was excluded on CDIs data base.

    By the way, if anything I said was false anyone who had proof of this would have my nuts in a sling simply because the fact I am licensed means EVERYTHING i share has to be correct or I could get severely fined for it. And all you would have to do is copy and paste my thread to the proper authorities.

    So if you find yourself doubting anything I have said, ask yourself, why would I give you a route to punish me?

    Good luck fellow truckers!
