Does the INDIAN students who achieve a Ph.D degree at U.S. return to their home country?

India is a country that has been for a long time emerged in a critical economic-social situation with no indicators of a comprehensive improvement in many areas, although a GREAT number of admitted students for Ph.D programs in U.S. belong from India, mainly in the engineering field. They have in most of the cases the higher scores in international tests such as GRE and TOEFL, plus academic honors. In comparison to that, students from Latin America and Europe, for example, are mutch more inclined to return to their countries and use the technique learned to improve the overall home country quality in a specific field. India has achieved recently a respected rank position regarding information technology field, but not enough regarding so many Ph.D “minds”. Is this good to U.S. and bad for India ? Or we shall analyze this question as an “individual” perspective of success and salary ? that´s all folks.

I need to invest 80-100K from the upcoming sale of my home, how should I invest it?

I don’t know much about mutual funds, but I’m told if I were to invest 100K over 10years there would be about 400-440K. This was assuming roughly a 15% return per year. I was told this is on the side of a non-aggressive fund. Or is this probably an aggressive fund? So, in a nutshell…I would like to invest this money somewhere for about 10 years until I’m ready to buy another home…

How much will 7,000 dollars affect my tax return?

I received 7,000 dollars from the real estate sale of my late grandfathers house and land. It was given to my aunt as a lump sum gift and she divided it up among children and grandchildren. I’m guessing she received it in a lump sum so that the children and grandchildren wouldn’t have to pay estate inheritance tax. If this is listed as additional income for me, how much will this affect my return? I figure I’ll have to pay about 1200 dollars in tax on this money.
the initial amount was 120,000 divided among the 4 children then among their grandchildren. that’s how I got 7,000.

I sold some rental property in Jan 06. Now that it is tax time I need to some help with filing?

The Federal return asks for the Asset Sales Price and expenses and also the land sales price and expenses. Should enter the actual sale amount or the amount I received after paying the mortgage I owed?
