re: #132 Aceofwhat?

Hey Ace: I’m too busy again for a meaningful critique. However, please keep in mind that the taxation of capital gains is only on profit, and that you can assess capital losses against capital gains.

In addition, please remember that, after the IPO of a company, the purchase of their stock or sale of it does not actually affect their bottom line, except in the rare case they can dilute their stock. So most investments have no relationship to the actual funding of a company. Only a very small subset do.
