If, for example, an investor had paid $400 for his Du Pont shares and now gets $600 worth of G.M. stock, he will have to pay an immediate capital gains tax on the $200 difference. But if he bought his Du Pont shares for, say, $1,000 and now gets $600 worth of G.M. stock, he will pay no tax immediately, but the "cost basis" of his Du Pont shares will drop...
