Author: Michael Gray, CPA

My s... more »trike price on these shares ranged from about $1 to $8, and I exercised all these shares (when the fair market value was) around $129. My intention was to hold them until at least January 2001, which would have qualified these stocks for the '2 year, 1 year' rule and would qualify for long-term capital gains.""Well, you can probably guess what happened next.
