Hi bwtidal, I've been looking into these strategies and must admit I don't fully understand them. You said that if the stock goes up the client owes the other party more money but then you also said there is no "risk" in terms of being short the stock as it appreciates? I'm confused by this.
In the end are these strategies simply a way of locking in today's value, borrowing against it and paying interest?
Benefits to the taxpayer would be use of cash that would otherwise be sent to Mr Paul Martin - is this a valid interpretation?
Thanks, Ed
