Hi E_K_S ..

RE: VZ and VOD

Just my 2 cents here, but I don't believe that VZ wants to buy VOD shares ..
They want to buy the 45% of Verizon Wireless that VOD owns ..
VOD doesn't want VZ shares either .. They want/need the cash ..
I'm assuming VZ will make an all cash offer to VOD for their Verizon wireless stake ..
VZ is just waiting on the finalization of the banking package before making an announcement ..

" ... any sale now only results in a 20% or more tax on the capital gain ..."

As a matter of interest ... in USA Personal Tax Law, do you have a Marginal Tax rate percentage, and does a Capital Gain percentage get multiplied by this Marginal Tax rate percentage?

So, for example, if your Marginal Tax rate was 40% and your Capital Gain rate was 20%, would your Net tax percentage to be paid on your Capital Gain be 40% x 20% = 8% ?
