Biowatch, I am somewhat confused by your post.
I was obviously joking, but your link to my post wrt rights allocations to the excess shares means I'm confused?
I certainly stand by my point on how voting works.
On dividend taxation, the Bush dividend law certainly never addressed this issue, and I am not aware if the IRS/courts have ever taken a final position. This matters nill to me so it's not a case of beng confused, just a minor point that I don't care about.
But more importantly, both those items apply to longs with positions in a margin account, not shorts.
