Imagine that an LLC buys deep in the money PUTs. It exercises them in
the current year. That is, the LLC is now short stock. The cost of the
PUTs is considered a current expense, and the short stock positions are
considered liabilities. The LLC does its returns on a cash basis, not
marking anything to market. What's missing from this picture?
