And remember for anyone thinking to switch to Mark to Market, the election must be filed with the extension or before 4/15/10 to get the benefit for 2010 taxes filed next year. The 3115 is kind of a bear, but it was sure worth it for me, just the elimination of the wash sale rules was worth it. But not worth for everyone, just a lot of people forget to elect it at the proper time.

i liquidated my 401k last year to buy BEHL, so i have taxes, interest, 401k penalties to deal with, but i way surpassed my break even last summer it and it's worked out so far. sometime between summer and fall this year, i'll sell enough to cover taxes and be riding virtually free shares after that.



mercy... and people think I'm a risk taker... my hat is off to you sir... I hope it works out well for the both of us... I was quite blessed to have gains in 2009 when so many others I know suffered greatly. So, I'll take a shot of Glenfiddich single malt before writing the check and consider myself a great patriot for the amazing amount dollars I am sending to support this great country.
