Thanks Sean,

Well, I've added an extra column to my spread sheet which shows how much CGT tax I would pay at the top marginal rate. I figured I would do it that way as I would rather "expect" to pay more tax than needed rather than the other way around. And no, official retirement is still some 30 years away, so I need to build up my wealth outside of the superfund (as well as within it) - so any strategy that legally reduces my tax bill is worth learning about.

I think CGT is probably not so important when you buy something expecting it to be a short term trade but definitely comes into it when you've been holding something for a long while - and I have many of these cause the price just keeps going up! I've got a feeling that WHE might end up joining the 12-month crowd in my portfolio.

Spartz.
