EKS: I keep my DGI and trading accts. very separate. Whatever I post here is about the DGI portfolio only and all of my DGI stocks are in tax free accts. My trading accts. include one tax free and one taxable. So 99% of the time, if I post about something here, it is in a tax-free acct. I never let cap gains taxs get in the way of what (compared to several years ago) is my much smaller swing trading account trades... typically, they involve either long enough holds and/or large enough cap gains that I am actually glad to have to pay cap gains taxes because it means I made a lot of money. Period. The only time that is not true are the times I stop out of a trade with a small percentage loss and then I don't dwell on the loss or the cap gain impact, but simply move on to the next trade. So consider this a blanket disclaimer that whatever I post here about stocks, it is about DGI investing and all stocks are held in tax-free accts. and I do not calculate any tax implications as a result. Best, Jim
