so if I lose $100,000 in 1998 and then make $10,000 in 1999 I only
get to take off $3,000 and be left paying taxes on $7,000 in 1999?

meaning $97,000 in accruing losses gets rolled over to 2000? If that is true, then in this scenario the person will have to have net profits over $3,000 every year for 32 more years in order to counter their losses in 1998?

THAT IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone here had a net loss from investing in one year and a profit the next and got to carry over the full amount? The rule I know of is that no MORE THAN A NET LOSS OF $3000 in investing is allowed but I dont know if you can apply the full previous losses to your gross gain as long as you still end up with a net loss of $3000, $2000, etc or better(more profitable).
