OT: anandnvi-re: puts & gains...

Two problems with buying puts as a hedge
(1) Taxes are f*ed up.

First of all, puts are in some sense considered to be short sales; any gains you have on a put are always short-term gain and thus taxed at your full marginal rate.

Sure???

optionsclearing.com puts everything in a more comprehensive but more complicated way.

disu, the site above claims that long term capital gains may apply to puts as well - which is contradictory to what I read somewhere else (and to what Id posted <grrr>).

Thanks for making me double check.
