Is that even a thing? confused.gif I don't see why anyone would want to do that -- but for those who need to do that? No se.

Yes, that is a thing. I believe it has very little to do with wanting to.

And all I have this year is a capital loss on a passive investment which I cannot claim due to being over the AGI phase out. frown.gif

Why so much turnover? That's an easy way to lose an astounding amount of money over an investing "career."

skinny is correct. it is a very real thing, and its something you are made to do, not something you opt to do. when your tax liability gets to around 6 figures, i understand that is how it goes. or so i am told by the people i know who make that kind of cheddah.

You know, God only says that the Rabbi has to bless the food, not wash his hands...

Yes, and vice versa.

All my investment decisions are event-driven, so I rarely care about timing my sales for tax purposes. Granted, I was considering selling AAPL at the end of the year to offset my tax liability, but alas, I was too scared to pull the trigger and seal in those losses, so now I have a huge tax liability and massive paper losses.. FAIL.

No, but apparently it smells like an authentic wood fire. The leftette told me this while standing in front of our wood burning fireplace.

laugh.gif that is awesome.

Thursday my beautiful 1995 mercury cougar took a shit on me. The lower ball joint blew on driver's side front wheel. Wheel was barely connected. Luckily I was at a stop sign when it happened and not actually moving. Also, luckily I bought it for $500 to have a shit beater car and not put any excess wear and tear on the nicer car. Still frustrating.
