It was a virtual short. I sold stock I had, I didn't borrow it. I also rebought in the aftermarket. If I get ever contacted about it, I'll deal with that at that time. Thean..did you ever think that there are too many rules? You've now conviced me of it. I suspect that we all follow the rules to the best of our knowledge(s), but I personally don't have the book memorized, or even know it all. If this is indeed a rule regarding IRA trading, I will check it out and be cognizant of this in the future. In fact, I would have done better buying it by waiting longer than I did. If you have a pointer to this SEC rule, I'd like to see it. My CPA/CFP didn't specifically mention anything about SEC rules (I didn't ask), but accounting wise, he's right on regarding wash-sale rules for IRA's. There are none. 14.95/trade for market or limit orders at Fido. Thanks. Steve PS: Anyone remember this guy? He used to post on SI: sec.gov
