Foiled again! But I can do that if I wait 30 days?

Yep, if you wait 30 days you are fine. The risk, of course, is that it will shoot up in the meantime.

Hmm, this is tough. I have a lot of losses I want to lock in! =)

My take is look around and same sector stocks. If you really believe in them. The real question people have to ask, is would you buy a stock you own right now? People get tied into the emotion of the fact that the stock took thier money...

In my opinion....

In this market, every day you decide to keep a stock, is a choice that you would buy it. So look around and if you have stuff in your portfolio that has taken a loss, and you ask your self, "Would I buy that right now, if I didnt own it"? If the answer is yes, then keep it. If the answer is no, then lock in your loss and buy something else.


On the question of the 3k, yea that's one of the deals. Its the gift that keeps giving. So a 12k loss could be deducted over the next 4 years.
