Yes your correct I believe, regarding price change difference, which could be significant as we have seen with all of the market fluxuations, such as you sold at $140 a share and have to repurchase @ $145 a share, not to mention taxes you must pay.
Also thank the poster for the link regarding in kind transfer. A lot of great talent on these posts!!
