Glenn, I thought you were referring to Ariba's funny #'s not yours. I suppose I was clear then on how the "percentage" issue changes when a stock becomes 3% of its original value. I would only need something like a 10,000 percent gain with the same number of shares to get even though I "only" lost 90%. Anyway, can't you write off your ariba losses against your Akami gains?;) I thought I would take these capital losses and see if there is a world record I may be able to beat now;-) Just kidding. If I write off SUNW this year it will surely rock my boat. Like 2 torpedoes right in the middle without a lifeboat.:>) We need a new tax law. There are some people that were short the entire markets all year. I would love to auction off to capital losses to them on Ebay LOL. Ten cents on the dollar is better than nothing:>)
