Purchase and sale of same stock within 30 days is a wash sale, and you cannot take a loss, but if there is gain you still get taxed. With respect to a loss, I think it goes to reduce your basis; in other words, it's treated as buying down your basis.

Has anyone looked carefully at volume. In first hour over 4 million shares. Topped at 406 and now stock has receded, which is to be expected with the opening rush of buyers.

OT: wash sales rules

Wash sales rules only apply when there is a loss on the sale of a security. If your trading all results in net gains, there is no wash sale consideration.
