Colin:

My research implies that the answer turns on a funny point: whether the transferor is "diversifying." So, if I have all IBM stock (no other shares) and want to join an investment club, I will be taxed if the investment club has a diverse portfolio.

On the other hand (and this is where that answer doesn't make much sense to me) if I have a diverse portfolio and transfer stock no taxable even occurs??

In fact I am already a partner in an investment club with diverse holdings. If I transfer stock in the same amount and type as the other partners I do not view that as diversification. Is that the way to analyze the question?
