did as you suggested but could only find stuff on personal taxes, difference between long term and short term gains/loss etc, carry forward rules, blah blah blah. Couldn't find anything on why big brokerages or fund managers would do tax loss selling. I suppose the rules apply to their holdings as well? Also couldn't find out whether tax loss selling was specific to a certain time of year, say, year end. In which case, how do they know that the recent sell pressure is due to tax loss selling? or that there won't be more tax loss selling in Nov. or Dec.? Couldn't the selling be because investors expectations of valuations, company's prospect, industry sector outlook, etc. have changed? How does one determine that the selling pressure is due to collective tax loss selling? Seems like you need a crystal ball for that! only thing of note is that once tax loss selling has occurred, you can't buy the same stock back for at least 30 days. Does that imply that this stock will see no buying pressure for another month? (ouch!) does it make any sense to anyone? please shed some light, thanks!
