You won't know exactly how much tax will be on it, of course, until you fill out Schedule D (and Schedule D seems to change somewhat in format each year)

MM, Tesla had a great run up.
Who gives a sheet about the tax man when stuff doubles up or better.
What could you have gotten on a bond in the same period (maybe 4% and then add the tax benefit so it nets to 5% plus or minus annually)?
If you can live with the risk, I prefer the stock game (I used be be more of a bond person when I was younger). I tend to participate reverse of most folks.
Now that I have a high income from work and my apartment buildings, I take a lot more risk in the market and it has worked out.

I agree that bit probably unloaded his shares at a good time........ low gas prices and a still-lousy economy where a lot of people can't afford expensive cars, plus the still-lack of an electric-charging infrastructure for cars in a lot of places doesn't bode well in the near-future for high-priced electric vehicles.

Sorry to get aggressive MM.
My folks were completely risk averse, did not participate in the markets and depended on SS for their retirement. Pretty much every mistake in the book.
My mom would say, oh you have to pay some of your gains in taxes and she hated that. I replied the more I make, the more I pay (in taxes), the happier I am.

exactly. it's counter-intuitive, and no-one likes paying taxes but if you're paying a crapload of taxes you're obviously making a much bigger crapload of money. i'd rather keep 2/3rd of a crapload than make a few beans and pay no taxes.
