IanFromSi,

A chance I have to take. I can't sell before OCT 1st due to numerous considerations. One being I don't want to owe the state estimated taxes until the last quarter.

If they break up I still own the stock. Another win in my opinion even if a temp drop in price.

I saw someone say you have to own the stock in Dec to get a long term capital gain.

From my research I believe the rule sates you only need to own the stock over one year and not have to sell it on a specific month to qualify as a long term gain.

My CPA didn't argue I didn't have a long term capital gain and I hope to sell or close or what ever after Oct 1st.
