I let others correct me if I'm wrong; but it was mentioned in another thread in this forum that supposedly there is nothing equivalent to paragraph 1258 for short boxes.Thank you for your help.See the recent posts in this thread. There's disagreement between posters here about what it means.[Thread merged into here --admin LadyGeek]
Hello!
I was considering using BOXX ETF to park my emergency cash at fidelity but came across the following article- https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/tax-gimmick-boxx
Given this, should I proceed with using BOXX and if I did and something bad happened, what is the worst case scenario.
Alternatively, if I borrow money using a Box spread using my investments as collateral to make a non-investment related purchase, I understand the loss because of borrowing money is also a time value transaction- should I be concerned about capital losses accrued this way?
Thank you.
My guess is that the situation will get clearer in the next several months if BOXX keeps accumulating assets. The AUM is up more than 50% in the past 2 weeks.
Is there any concern with using short boxes as personal loans and using the option "losses" as capital losses or is this considered an acceptable practice with no grey zones?
Because of the fungibility of money, the distinction and separation between personal and investment loans is difficult not to say nonsensical in the first place; so I would just go by the letter of the law here.
