"well Benkea, I took a tiny loss,sidelined for 30 days..;"

Don't let that stop you. The loss just becomes part of your cost basis should you decide to play again. You just can't claim it if you have bought back in 30 days until you sell again without rebuying in 30 days. Besides, there are only 23 days left in this year anyway so it is a 1999 tax event if you buy again anyway.
