Unless they have changed the rules since I was a NYSE
RR - a long term gain is recognized When you tender the
stock against the (box)short... if no offsetting losses -
you might take several years to close out. Just can't
use short against box to make a short term gain into
a long one. As for taking the big gain - have you looked
at PRD or XRX lately? (God forbid some of the techs of
18 months ago...)
Best,
Don
