JB, Taxation of CCs

My understanding was that all options are treated as short-term gains.

Have you found an IRS publication for options?


You can always roll them (CC's) to a higher strike at a later date. That may also generate a capital loss (for tax purposes) while protecting and even enhancing unrealized future gains.

That is exactly what I did a couple of years ago and Intel kept on climbing at which point I gave in.
