I actually hold COS at the moment in my IRA but I am thinking of taking it out, paying the taxes on the distribution, and spending the income. I think I will do the same with my Energy Split shares, espeically since much of that income is tax deferred. Then if the stocks themselves appreciate, I can sell and pay only the 15% capital gains. What I want right now is more spendable income that I can enjoy, spend on friends, or whatever. As far as I know, Scrooge McDuck is still alive, but I am afraid I may not be able to enjoy sitting on hoarded wealth as long as he has <G>.
