The reasons you buy and sell a stock should be the same regardless of whether or not that stock resides in a taxable account or a non-taxable account. You buy a stock that you have expectations of going up in value and you sell a stock where you have expectations of a lower value. If your friend owned stock that had declined significantly, it matters little whether or not he can use the capital loss, what matters is that others can so they will sell and that selling will make the stock go down in price. If you have fundamental conviction beyond tax season you can always buy it back after tax selling has sent it back to the stone age.
