eep- Let's say someone has a bunch of Jan calls purchased a while ago, theoretically of course. Let's say someone is getting a little giddy/nervous about this position since it amounts to more money in one place than ever before by a wide margin. If someone was to sell some Jan. calls at a much higher strike price to protect some of the profits, thus creating a spread without incurring a tax liability for this year, would the option positions have to be marked to market on Dec. 31 for income tax reasons. The reason I ask is that I remember somewhere that commodity contracts are marked to market when there are spreads involved. Does this apply to stock options also? Anybody? kirby
