>>20051681>Realize a loss because the market is shitting the bedAnon, there was no realized loss. Those trades were closed at almost 50% profit since they were opened in early November 2023 right after the last dump and early into the rally. That's how you're supposed to do this. Sell at the end of the rally when it runs out of steam and then rebuy at the beginning of the next rally
>>20051704>>MMM I LOVE TAXABLE EVENTSMy net gains are much higher this way than they would be on a buy and hold of the same underlying. If you're active at all in the stock market you should base your trades on your actual strategy, not on taxes, potential margin calls (don't put yourself in that situation in the first place), income, etc. Basing trades on anything other than a solid strategy introduces competing imperatives and will probably end up losing more in the end than what you thought you would "save"
