If your life depended on you compiling a list of companies that meet the requirement below, how would you go about it?
C'mon WSO, help a guy out here. I will be forever in your debt.
Here is the definition of qualified replacement property for background as can be found in:https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/1042

In the same situation. Any luck on getting more clarity on how to verify which equities would meet the QRP definition?
