More Haiku

The NASPP Blog is on vacation this week, but to tide you over while we are out, here are some stock plan haiku submitted by Andrew Schwartz of Computershare (in response to last week’s blog entry, “Stock Plan Haiku“):

Like flowing rivers
Cascade myriad tax forms
From stock purchase plans

Avalanche of white
Paper hills bury workers
Total confusion

Proceeds cost basis
Dividend reinvestment
Lot after lot

Search offering dates
Missing fair market values
Take a wild guess now

Go pick a number
Gain or loss it’s all the same
Just add it all up

Forget wash sale loss
Sure looks like a gain to me
File return get beer

The NASPP Blog will return next week.  Happy New Year!
