Discussion: "New Tax Codes and Stock"
• Calvin, a client of yours since you opened your practice, has over the past few years become very intrigued with investing in the stock market. He has interest bearing securities and dividend paying stocks. He also owns U.S. Securities. He is considering selling $400,000 in stocks. He doesn't know if he should sell additional stock for a loss to help offset the stock sale of $400,000.
