Re: EZM-LMC tax question..Nelson, It probably depends on how your broker handled it. With Scottrade, my shares were converted to LMC shares with the purchase date and cost adjusted to what I had paid for EZM. At TD Ameritrade, they treated the conversion as closing out my EZM position with the proceeds used for buying LMC. Needless to say, I preferred the way that Scottrade handled it since short term 2006 gains were created with the way TD did it.
