Dan, Thanks for the reply. On fairmark message board also, I read that, one of the criteria for 1256 inclusion, is cash settlement. I didn't know the difference between DIA and DJX. Now it is clear... fwiw... In my Google search I came across an old article (12/03/2000), about 1256 inclusion. It is a general article, but a small part is devoted to 1256. <<Did you know that true index options (including the OEX, SPX, SOX, BTK and others) are taxed on a 60% long-term/40% short-term capital gains base? Index options on true underlying indexes are treated as "1256 events" in accordance to commodity futures markets by current IRS rules. >> optioninvestor.com
