A_Hamilton Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hello, Has anyone ever shorted a U.S. listed publicly traded limited partnership? I am wondering what the tax implications of this are. Do you receive something like a k-1? I just don't know how you'd adjust your basis each year (assuming I believe my short candidate is a terminal short). Thank you for any thoughts that you may have.

Guest deepValue Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Not sure about tax implications, but MLPs are a miserable short; hard to borrow and big fat dividends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually looking at the LP's that invest in commodity futures. They don't make distributions to holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
