Holding
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Warren Jones Co. v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 524 F.2d 788 reversed a U.S. Tax Court decision that held that “the fair market value of a real estate contract did not constitute an amount realized by the taxpayer in the taxable year of sale under Internal Revenue Code § 1001(b).” The Court of Appeals held “that the real estate had a certain fair market value that was ascertainable and that the taxpayer had to include that fair market value to determine the amount realized under § 1001(b)."

“Except that right side up is best, there is not much to learn about holding a baby. There are one hundred and fifty-two distinctly different ways—and all are right! At least all will do.”

Our world. Go after it,
Go get it boy, says the man holding the stick.
Eat, says the hunger, and we plunge blindly in again,
Into the chamber behind the thought.”

—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
