Shane, >>If I remember you were in WCOM weren't you?<< Yes. For me, the trouble with the tax selling play is that for a company to be eligible, it must be down for the year. Usually, that means there was a problem. I have a tough time telling the difference between a stock that is down because of the problem and one that is down due to tax selling. I can tell if I am already familiar with the company, but if I am, I would be buying it anyway without any regard for why (tax selling or not). Wayne
