sorry should have read:



nightstalker, u will have to pay the capital gain eventually.
If u were to buy the options u will obviously have no capital gain at the moment. where as now u have an 'unrealised capital gain.
So u will be better off by 0.5c (your case 10k)
but u would have to pay the capital gain now.
Also the 12 month rule (pay only on half of the capital gain) also needs to be considered.

my story on toxfree is will be told soon, very soon i hope !!!!
