Thanks Zeev, that is one scenario I hadn't thought of. Well, we'll just have to wait and see. But, if I have a net capital loss on the year, what's my benefit in taking the gain now, since I can carry the loss over to next year. Having a loss won't cause me to pay more taxes. OTOH, if I have a gain, I want to take my loss to offset it and reduce my tax burden. This makes my head hurt. I think I will just put in a tight trailing stop loss for next week. <edit> If the shorts thought it would drop come Monday, then why on earth would they be buying today. Also, considering the volume, there can't be very many shorts covering.
