I have a question:
suppose i have a long term position of a stock, say 1000 shares; then i did a short against it for say 100 shares when it's too overvalued but i always keep the long position.

what's the tax consequence for this? for me, i think i just pay the gain i earned from short, but i heard from some one that i need to pay the tax on long also, is this true? if true, pay how much?

Thanks for any comment,

DJ
