Just curious, AT, about your trading scenario....

Stock you originally bought at 42, you sell at 33 1/2, and then you capture 1/2 point by buying the stock back at 33. What do you do about the income tax consequences? Seems to me that if you don't stay away for 30 days from a stock you took a loss in, the IRS defines your action as a 'wash sale' and you lose the tax benefits of your capital loss. Is capturing a 1/2 point really worth it?
