RE: "Question; If at some time BB recommends a zero position on holdings, won't I get reamed on capital gains?"

Bob states that one should always consider the tax consequences of trades. As Bob also states, one way of solving the capital gains tax problem is to hold the stock during a severe market decline. This will cause all of the gains to disappear!

You could hold your stocks during a bear market and sell short SPY or buy puts, but, if the market declines, you will then have to pay taxes on the gains from these transactions.

Best wishes,
