Re: "p.s. It did kinda look like you jumped down enzyme's throat in that posting... especially given that he was on the money, even, in hindsight, according to intel management."

In my opinion he was not entirely on the money. What I took issue with was his insistence that they blew it, implying they were incompetent. Yes they turned out to be wrong but they made the right decision based on the available information at the time. It turned out the information was wrong. No one foresaw the huge demand. Was that incompetence or just the limitations of the forecasting system? I say it was the latter but in true AMDroid fashion they couldn't pass up an opportunity to bash Intel.

If true, assuming one continues to make money, having a call spread around each year (growing with your assets) could delay
tax gains again and again, until you're ready to extract the funds... much like a 401(k) is sheltered.
This must be too good to be true... but I'll see what can find out via my tax guy and the web.



If you find out please post info and or links.
