re> Also, there's a way to avoid some of the taxes in a non-IRA account. Instead of selling the stock, you can sell deep in the money calls that you buy back at the bottom. Then you only pay taxes on the money made in the call transaction.

Thanks

I may have to learn these strategies as my position in this sector has gotten fairly large... 8)

Guy,

Isn't there a fairly high probability that the option will be illiquid; and that the option holder may just call away your shares in order to cash out his position? Then the whole amount becomes taxable at the option holder's discretion.

Or am I missing something?

Is there a European style call one can sell to maintain control over the dates?

Ian.
