No taxes paid on the major gains I have made. I am now retired. Because of those decisions. Not trying to sound argumentive, but that doesn't jive. What do you use for cash to pay living expenses? You can be retired, but not because you didn't sell anything. If you paid "no taxes", then you didn't sell anything to retire on! Let's have the real story, Mr. DuPont. Anyway, I'm into options, and it's a thrill to make 70% gains in a day, while working 12 hrs at my job and not paying any attention to the market except after mkt hours. This latest trade is a two-bagger so far in 30 days, and I'm holding out for a three bagger (MSFT at $107). My calls don't expire until this Oct. Meanwhile, I work at a job I enjoy during the day. I don't enjoy following every little ripple during the trading day. (Been there, done that).
