Indeed that would be diabolical. But I doubt they would do this. I don't think the goverment care that much about gold as they know it would not have significant long term inpact.

GLD total ounces is less than 3% of what the central bank owns and less than 0.6% id all the gold in the world. Many countries would gladly buy that gold at a discount. So, even this diabolical event, would only be a small blib on gold long term march upward.

I think they'll do plenty, most of it harmful. But to have a tax law apply to a single ETF? No way, I say.

Is GLD taxed at 28% or 20% LT cap gains.
