Yea i get that, thats why it doesn’t make any sense. Doesnt seem possible to mechanic a tax for it. Just cause there is some buy order out there waiting for someone to sell to them...? Like I own 100gallons of milk and somewhere else someone might be offering money for 100gallons that nets me a profit, we might not ever even meet, i might not even want to sell, but the gov could step in somehow and just say hey look, this guy COULD profit if he traded right now (could be a loss tomarrow), so he owes us money. Just makes no sense.
