- I am lucky enough to have owned Microsoft for over 6 years now. I have
- seen my investment go up about 6.5 times. I don't want to sell. But
- I am finishing up graduate school and this might be a good year to sell,
- since I have no real income and have about $12,000-worth of deductions
- that I could use. By the end of next year I will hopefully be gainfully
- employed, and it seems to me that it would be foolish to sell the stock
- and pay capital gains when I'll be in a higher tax bracket.
-
- Are the long-term capital gains laws going to be changing? How long
- would I have to sit on my profits before buying more Microsoft if I
- don't really want to be out of it but want the sale to be taxed in 1992?
- Any advice would be appreciated. Guess I've just got a couple of
- days to decide what to do.
