HIFN turnover mentioned in WSJ, 1/18. As I was reading the Wall Street Journal at the library, there is was, an article in the C section about high turnover stocks, and in their list there was HIFN at the No. 2 spot, with average holding period of the stock being 15 days. (So, having held for several months, I should get capital gain treatment?) So we are in with the daytraders. One saving grace to it all, is that the article mentioned that the stocks last year with the shortest holding periods actually did quite well for the year (HIFN, apparently, notwithstanding). Sorry I just read the article from paper, and cannot post a link. FWIW GTW
