Not sure why a industry publication is effectively throwing a large part of its industry under the bus.

Instead of arguing for treating all mutual/etf's REITS and investment companies in are more sane way - the way the UK does with IT, OIECS and ETF's - that is the individual owning the shares pays the tax.

Link might be wrong (I got pointed to an Uber article). I think this is the article: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-vanguard-mutual-fund...

The link was intended to point to one of the article subsections, the one called Tax Dialysis.

Can't link straight to it, unfortunately.

> My only complaint is that Vanguard has patented this method, so nobody else can immunize a mutual fund from taxes by bolting on an ETF What the...? How is that possible, patenting a tax loophole ?!

The system is truly beyond fucked.

The way you do this is:

  1. Press F12 to open developer tools.
  2. Click the select element button (in Firefox, this is the top-left icon of what just popped up).
  3. Click on the header of the section you want.
  4. If you're lucky, it has an id="tax-dialysis" attribute on it.
  5. If not, find a nearby element which does.
  6. Put that id prefixed by an octothorpe (#) symbol at the end of your URL.
  7. Forget that Hacker News isn't markdown, and doesn't do numbered bullets.

Neat, thanks for the tip. It's too late to edit the post now, but it'll come in handy in the future.
