A good example of why there hasn't been and won't be a V-shaped capitulation, but slow grinding: Message 15388686 To Shaw: Dr. Greg here can lecture you on not letting tax considerations govern your investment strategy, but you really shouldn't let the wash sale rule influence you at this stage of the game because: (a) it sounds like so far in 2001 you don't have significant taxable gains; and (b) there is so much time left in the year, to worry about a wash sale now seems silly. If you were to reenter NTAP within the 31 days, the $12 loss you took is added to your basis, thus reducing your (hoped for) final capital gain.
