OT* Tax Loss Selling * Another aspect is that there are very many tech stocks (formerly in the $20 to$ 40 range) that are now trading under $5.00 a share. These would be the logical candidates for tax loss selling. Suppose for example that an investor had a $20 dollar loss on AMAT and a 20 dollar loss on ATHM (Excite at Home, now at .50 per share). Would there be any rational reason for selling AMAT and keeping ATHM? Tax loss selling may effect only those near worthless stocks and leave the quality techs alone. Regards, Jerome
