Rick, Not in an IRA. Besides you just posted that everyone should do what they think is right. Capital gains taxes has been debated on EVERY thread I have ever been on. Example, I sold my RMBS at nice "short term" gains earlier this year (paid ST taxes) only to double my money on EPAY (paid ST taxes) then came over here and more than triple my money. Am I better to have held onto RMBS while it wallowed in its own misery in order to qualify for LT gains? Quantified, $1 in RMBS would be worth $0.80 today (it went down) -vs- $1 to $10, less 30% or so taxes gives me $7. Which one would I elect? Let me think a minute.......... Still thinking......... Still thinking......... I'll take the $7! See my point? Regards, MileHigh PS- Not directed just at you.
