contrast the merger monday mania reaction with a month ago`s reaction
Quote from BlueStreek:
housing data should be a catalyst....either pick up momentum for selling...or finish slightly up for the indices like dow plus 22 if good news.
but aapl, goog, bidu.....look weak for the remainder of the year.
Quote from jan168:
isn't this true that selling a lose postion able to off set the gain?
could someone confirm this one for me?
thanks!
Quote from hels02:
My accountant does our taxes, I'm too dumb to do it myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but he says yes, losses offset gains for the year. I almost wish I had more losses (ok, not really).
It's not the % taxed, it's the fact that we are going to get shoved into the last tax bracket, which means we'd get taxed a lot more on everything else including all our ordinary income. That's not palatable.
