True that, I just ran it through my tax software and I misquoted the percentage variance, it's more like 49% more for short term cap gains tax.
Datz what happens when I stay up for 25 hours...lol
It's still a decent incentive to hold over a year.
Plus like you, I have a nice chunk in that category.
I've been working a lot to take a year or 2 off my retirement so that's the major reason for the extra taxes. Working to have the wifey retire at the same time as well.
