Robert, OX is right about short sale of options and it is in the code. Of course broad based index options are section 1256 contracts and are always 60% long term and 40% short term regardless of how long held and whether short or long. You can check IRS publications linked below. ftp.fedworld.gov irs.ustreas.gov The question I can't seem to find an answer to is whether options on QQQ are section 1256 contracts. Regards, Ken
