nihil, <Our government rewards business that are incompetent and lose money, and tax the ones who make profits.> Very, very well put. A truly said irony. FF

To be fair a little, tax loss carryforwards do not reward failure, they reward risk. Take a few losses up front, that can offset gains in the future. I am not sure what the rules are in the US, in Canada the time frame is 7 years from the time the losses were incurred. I thought I should stress this even though you are most likely fully aware of this, lest some left wing types take hold of this issue.
