2) you can deduct margin interest from capital gains but you reduce (by equal dollar amount) the amount of gains eligible for long-term cap gains treatment.

Thanks. I was unaware of this point. Basically you write-off against LTCG first and then STCG, if I understand correctly.

One reason for saving your long term capital gains for years when you have no margin interest. Only sell short cap gains in years where you have margin interest if at all possible. Or at least sell stocks with the least long term cap gains.
