Tax Question
This current deal looks to be just below what my cost basis 43 range. Since this is an all stock swap can I write off any losses that I may incur. Conversely if I somehow end up with a gain in this swap would I have to declare gains. Or since this is an all stock deal everything is mute and life goes on

The NYX board turned down the NDAQ/ICE deal which as I calculate it is worth $43.13. The current DB deal is only worth $37.06. Not sure which deal you are talking about, but if it is the NDAQ/ICE, that for now is off.

I assumed that he meant the DB deal as he said "all stock swap". The ICE / NDAQ deal has a cash component.

Taxes are only owed or written off WHEN YOU SELL, even if the symbol or name changes.

Thats GENERALLY the case..but,the law says its taxable. However companies generally ask and get a ruling making it a tax free swap. Sometimes an issue can arise when a foreign company is involved as is the case here. I'm pretty sure that it'll will be ok, just didn't want you to think its a 100% sure thing. I dont know if this was addressed in the agreement or if they mentioned that they were looking to structure it as a tax free swap.
