You now say: "Why dont you spend more time helping yourself out than worrying about other personal income taxes or profits and losses.Unless they ask you." This thread started with you saying what a smart move it would be for people to try and flip the stock/sell and buy back cheaper. Did they ask you for that advice? And now what are you accusing me of? Maybe helping those to whom you gave unsolicited advice of the related pitfalls? And you have a problem with that? Just maybe some of those people (everyone? LOL) have a lot more shares than your piddly 31K, and maybe they earn enough money to actually have to think about taxes (unlike you, who apparently have more write-offs than earnings - now that's impressive! LOL). I warned of the tax consequences that may be suffered for such a move, rendering it unproductive. I'm sure you remember the post - the one where you couldn't spell "argument" without that extra "e" (and I was amused in your prior-to-this post to me with your creation of another new word - "argumental" LOL). Yup, a real sharp cookie. That prior post was the one where I had to correct what you typed, 'cuz as it was it made zero sense ("Second 42% of profit still leaves you with 58% profits."). Great credibility builder! LOL And the quote at the beginning of this post is a further indication of your superior intellect. Before you 'cuze me, better look at yourself (CCR '69). End of thread. I refuse to do battle with an unarmed man. Besides, your replies have had no substance other than personal attacks; a sure sign of defeat. SGE PS: BTW, do the letters "FO" mean anything to you?
