freeus...FORGET THE TAX THING! Remember this tax issue blinded us during QCOM's drop. Do you really want to hold another stock that could take a 50% haircut to save 10% in taxes? I don't. Even if you are talking about hanging around for the long term capital gains rate... Forget that too. California is still 9.8% no matter the term. Fed would then be 20%...which is proably 10-12% less than your income tax level...not significant in my books. This was a hard lesson to learn for me, making fun of Mike all the way down. Best to remember and profit from our errors in judgement. Rick

I have ridden a small fortune rocket nearly back to the ground hanging around for the long term capitol gains. Determined to not do that again...... Recently sold my JDSU with considerable gains and then...oops....S&P500, and bang came the jump. However, I consider myself fortunate not to ride this one down this year as they seem to be looking to follow our beloved Q's track. Best of luck to you if you decide to wait on the taxes....but it killed me; so no more of that here. -dEth8
