Anybody hear anything from Leah lately?

I feel so euphoric over my gains with another stock today (75% gains for me so far). All my potential losses with LEAH might just be good for a tax write-off against all these capital gains.

Anybody care to help me out with a question about taxes? I understand that the IRS allows only $2000 in straight losses on a stock for individuals. Is this correct? I'm not talking about anything with basis, but actual write- offs.
If so, can I form an LLC and sell my Leah shares to it for a price that amounts to less than my allowable limit, and then use all of the losses against gains with the company I then form, which does have higher allowable losses?

I understand that if anybody comments to my question, it would only be their opinion, I won't construe it as tax advice. I know I need to see my accountant to get this straight. . .

I still believe in this company, LEAH I just get the feeling that I better take some accounting measures now to hedge against taxes, because it might be a very long wait before Leah ever becomes rightly vindicated.
