There are several of us old timers here who will soon be able to qualify for the more favorable capital gains tax treatment on their SIRG investment. Yes, I agree with you that SIRG may not be the "cup of tea" to the average day or "pink trader" but when you consider the gains we now enjoy plus favorable tax treatment many of us will soon be able to enjoy, it could be that many a day or "pink trader" will turn green with envy when considering what he/she could have had.
