<Now that will change some spending habits. His dilema, get out of CSCO, INTC, and MSFT with under $5 cost per share and give up much of the gains to the government, or ride this out.>

He's retired and needs to live off it??? IS HE MAD?

Chic:

I'm sure you tried to get him to clear out before that is not possible. I'd also bet that he ignored your advice. (NG)

Best, Earlie

If your friend owns CSCO, MSFT and INTC in a retirement account, selling the stock does not trigger capital gains, just as you can't recognize capital losses in a retirement account. You pay ordinary income on the money you draw upon retirement.
