WH, tax-loss selling is pretty common at this time of the year. After 30 days, I bet he'd buy it again. I can't wait for November :-)

<i.Here he has a stock that he has held through a really rough period, and he finally gives in (the tax loss against possible FUTURE gains seems a bit of a reach). There's no better investment than a great leading company whos stock is low. If he believed in it through all this trouble, why sell now? Your comment is a good teaching lesson for me too. Either cut losses initially or if the fundamentals are still there, don't dump when it is way down. Now there's a rush to broadband. There's a source for all that coming supply of broadband content. The cable and telcos can't roll it out quickly enough.
