That's not correct Chuck... I know many wealthy LDS people that donate
stock for tithing. They will only accept the "larger" stocks, such as
Apple, Google, Amazon, GM, Ford, etc... but they do take it, and lots of
people use that option.

I use this tax strategy years ago and it enabled me to donate more
money and pay less tax.

better than most bank CD's or savings accounts, and Apple has made
a 16% annual return over the last 5 years. Even if their stock
just holds (which it won't now because of the Samsung thing, etc),
it's making 2% and it's still "liquid" according to the banks,
which helps on personal financial statements.

increase if you sold it first, you just transfer it at the current
value. Amazing the tax tricks these church going people come up
with... LOL
