Wooly, You write..." Claugus's article was torn to shreds several times on this and other threads" My question! In the Wooly Court of Law does the judge and jury get paid a double salary for performing the same duties?

Please point out the factual critique of the Barron's article, I cannot find it. You miss the point on GT0 shorts. You NEVER cover. You NEVER realize a gain. You get to keep and spend the proceeds of the short sale. In effect, it is tax free. Now there is some risk in still having the short. And, I am told if you can't find a bid somewhere for the stock, you must declare a gain. But not for a long time. It can be much better than a long term capital gain. But they are hard to find.
