How about dividends, cap gains, muni's, cap losses. A net cap loss (gains minus losses) of 3,000 can be claimed, dividends and cap gains are taxed at a rate of 0-15%. If you are in the 36% bracket your dividends are taxed at 15%. Long term cap gains are taxed at a max of 15%. Here's why the big guys are frightened: if the Bush tax cuts are extended these rates will remain unchanged...but if they expire the tax rates on dividends will be at regular income rates....cap gains will be 20% "Unfortunately, it's stupid and naive for you to continue that line of thinking." Are you sure you're a CEO?
