                                       - 12 -                                         
               Determination of whether petitioner is entitled to such                
          deduction is based upon facts and circumstances which are not               
          before the Court.  Granting of the motion for summary judgment              
          with respect to this issue would be premature, because material             
          issues of fact exist, not the least of which is whether                     
          petitioner was engaged in his activity as an investor or trader.            
          We therefore shall deny petitioner’s motion for summary judgment            
          as to whether he is entitled to an ATNOL deduction under section            
          56(d).                                                                      
               In reaching our holdings herein, we have considered all                
          arguments made, and to the extent not mentioned above, we                   
          conclude that they are moot, irrelevant, or without merit.                  
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                                  An appropriate order                
                                             will be issued.
