                                       - 38 -                                         
          petitioners reported a combined tax liability of $6,511 on                  
          $413,821 of income over 7 taxable years--based solely upon the              
          advice of the individuals promoting the tax shelter.  Our                   
          conclusion is reinforced by the fact that petitioners received              
          multiple warnings from respondent, including one as late as                 
          February 1992, warnings that petitioners ignored.  We find that             
          petitioners were negligent with respect to entering the Hoyt                
          investment, and that they were negligent with respect to claiming           
          the DSBS 87-C loss on their return.                                         
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        for respondent.
