I think that you misunderstood Victor's point.

Because most people probably have realized losses already this year and few realized gains, most likely there won't be much tax driven selling in December. There just aren't that many gains to offset.

Wrong. Most tax loss selling ends by Oct 31st. That's because mutual funds have to sell by Oct 31st to get the tax loss, whereas individuals have to sell by Dec 31st. Keep talking NYCBoy. With every word you utter, we crown you again and again as king of the TMs.

I don't think you're thinking clearly on this. Most investors already have plenty of realized tax losses this yr. They aren't going to need to dump CSCo to get more, whether now or in Dec.
