Happy Girl, I don't understand your tax situation. I assume it has something to do with the fact that you are or were an Australian national. Here in the states, you would have to pay substantial taxes on the gains you earned on Yahoo if you sold in 1998. You told us you wouldn't. If that's true, I don't know why you wouldn't consider selling now. In regard to wash rules, that only applies to stocks which you hold at a loss. Selling a stock at a loss to record it on your taxes as a loss and repurchasing within 30 days is not allowed. But you can sell a stock at a gain anytime and record the taxable gain.

Then again I may not understand your question and I definitely do not understand your tax situation.
