Help me out. Why would you sell now for the tax gambit? Why not wait for the end of the year? Theoretically, you could sell on Dec 30 and in 2 days, buy back Seems like you'd be putting your position in jeopardy for an unnecessary month or so. I've never done this so there may be other factors unknown to me. I can apprciate the idea of selling now if you think the price on Dec 30 might be lower. :>)
