Murdock, concurring: I think that Paine entered into the transaction for profit. The profit which he expected was to come from enhanced reputation in his business as a naval architect rather than from dividends or increased value of the stock. However, the record does not show that loss resulted from the expenditure, viewed as that kind of a transaction.

Citator

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Paine v. Commissioner. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
