Educate me then. What would you recommend and what is wrong about my advice?

You don’t just calculate gains, and you don’t just calculate assets sold after a year. You have to account for all sold assets, regardless of timeframe. You separate them by one year or less and greater than a year. You potentially can aggregate them, but you need to know the individual sales first.

You also pay various tax rates on the net short and long term gains. Short term gains are taxed at ordinary income levels. Long term gains are taxed at either 0%, 15%, or 20%. You may also owe a Medicare surcharge tax of 3.8%.


So yeah, your advice was inadequate at best.
