    You lost me completely!

    If you are a trader, you pay tax on 33% of any gains (sell price less buy price).

    Where did you get your buy price + 33% of the buy price as a break even point?

    To illustrate :

    Buy price - $3.00
    Sell price - $$4.00
    Gain - $1.00
    Tax @ 33% = 33c
    Net gain = 67c

    What you are saying though is this and is entirely illogical :

    Buy price - $3.00 and you are saying that share price must increase by 33% to $4.00 or $1.00 to break even?
