Creating a tax loss with a stock you want to buy back in 31 days is definitely worth considering since taxes have such a huge impact on net returns. However, I'm sure you've already thought through the possibility that a stock can rise dramatically while you're waiting for the 30-day window to expire. Of course, you also lose any investment of time you've made in the stock. For instance, at the time you sold, you could be 3 months away from becoming long term on the stock for tax purposes. Your clock gets reset by waiting for 30 days to expire and then buying the stock back. Anand
