<<re: Anyway, what if I had bought 100 shares of INTC @ $100 in the summer, then instead of selling them now to try to get the short-term loss, I bought an ADDITIONAL 100 shares @ $70, and then a day later sold my original $100 shares for the $30/share loss?

Would the loss be allowed then?>>

Sowbug: That's a good question. I think it would be allowed, but I don't know. Can anyone answer it. If it is allowed then you just pointed out a loophole in the tax law. Dale
