The topic makes no difference to me.....you can only credit 3000 annually anyway...
Such as... insiders have average common stock price points on this issue with losses why beyond that......are they trading out for annual 3000 credit ?.... I can see averaging down a loss, but selling long term holdings for 3 K credit ? 3k is not going to help much if the stock does eventually gain.
There's no real advantage to tax loss selling for anyone until it's time to take your licks and then take the bits of credit annually the government allows you to take against whatever income you have.
The markets in general have tons of loss with no real write off /credit.
IMO, it's nothing more than a token event / amount that the government controls.
The only thing I care about is the outcome of the re-exam....774 / 737....I will take my losses upon that decision.......................... if it's to be negative.
