The same broker has managed the accounts, formerly with Sitfel Nicolaus and now with LPL Financial. The Committee's letter of inquiry of October 12, 2016, lists the followig assets as appearing on the 2014 report but missing from the original 2015 report: Abbott Laboratories (line 8), Stewat Enterorises (lines 47 and 100), Watson Pharmaceuticals (line 49), Wellpoint, Inc,. (line 50), Invesco Sr. Income Trust (line 55), PVR Partners (line 59), Raytheon (line 60), Healthcare REIT (line 77). Each of thoese is listed soley as an asset of my IRA (except for Stewart Enterprises which is also listed as a 0 asset). For each of those listings on the 2014 report, no income, year-end value, or transactions is shown (except for (1) dividneds less than $1,000 for Invesco Sr. Income Trust; (2) dividends of $1,000-82,500 and a year-end value for Healthcare REIT as a spousal asset, and (3) dividends of Jess thin $1000 and & year-end value of less than $15,000 as a JI asset for Stewart Enterprises.) Exanmining the year-end brokerage statement for 2014, 1 find only the Healthcare REIT listed. This leads me to concluded all the other assets about which you inquired were sold in a prior year an the names of the assets were carried over by the software and not edited out by me, even though they show no income or transactions. Healthcare REIT was owned as of December 31, 2014, and swhould have been listed on my original 2015 report. It was old in February 2015, Accordingly it has been entered in Part VII at line 84 (shown as -Healthcare REIT to show it is an asset of the IRA.) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/disclosures/16938.
