Capital gain tax rules changes.

for the ill-informed, here are the new Cap gains tax rules that are PROPOSED. PROPOSED as in not yet passed.

MAXIMUM tax rate is proposed to go up to 39.6% plus a 3.8% Medicare surcharge tax. It's presently 37%. Thats for long term investments of over a year and for over 1 million $$ which won't include anybody here with this stock. This is the highest tax bracket so if you earn less the tax bracket changes.

For short term investments the tax rate appears to remain the same as it was and treated like normal income.

Most of what I read said not to worry because it's unlikely that it will change at all. A little critical thinking decides...hmmm...most of Congress is heavily invested in lots of things so any bill that is passed would hurt them. Think they would do that...not likely.
