Perhaps the tag line "Got Gold" should also be reconsidered by its writer: Lost in the translation Milk board does without its famous slogan when it woos a Latino audience George Raine, Chronicle Staff Writer Saturday, August 25, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Difficult though it may be to believe, not all of us have been chortling and slapping our knees upon seeing those delightful "Got Milk?" commercials. What's so funny, some Latinos have asked, about a tag line that translates to "Are you lactating?" (cont) sfgate.com

TYKE OT: "Imagine a Canadian Mutual fund ending the year all even, but who during the year had sold stock at a profit. Would it not try to offset those profitable transactions by closing out losing positions ?" No, because the mutual fund is a non-entity for tax purposes. It doesn't pay tax on gains. At the end of the year it distributes additional units to its unit holders to reflect the gains - but it is the unit holder who pays the tax. I can't remember what happens if the fund has capital losses. I'm not sure how the unit holder can use the losses - somehow I don't think the losses are flowed through.
