1. “trust” was not used in arranging the stock transfer and that the Internal Revenue Service has since characterized the stock as "income” on the date of the transfer which, Bailey argues, is inconsistent with a finding that the stock was held in trust. 4 .Bailey's argument that he owned the appreciated value of the stock is also inconsistent with his actual dealings with the stock. Bai ley acknowledges that, in the initial months after he received the stock, its value did not increase. "If the understanding had been that any appreciation in value was Bailey's own money, that would mean that Bailey could not withdraw any proceeds for himself until at least such time as some appreciation occurred.”
