unless the tax-loss benefit to you outweighs the risk of losing future returns as this stock rebounds Just a FYI: Tax-loss selling is almost never a good idea for an individual. What it gains you is the interest for a year on a fraction (maybe 30-40%) of your loss. Usually comes to about 1-2% of the value of your stock. This amount is often within the daily variation of the stock price. I do plan to sell my RTHM for a loss (why the heck am I holding that anyway?). I'll likely switching the money to an equivilant DSL play like NPNT or COVD. Anyone got a better DSL stock? Eric
