I'm finding that there aren't a whole lot of tax-loss sellers this year. There are just not many stocks that are down for the year. That means my January picks will probably be a rather short list.

I just did a screen for tax-loss sellers, and I found that it was necessary to loosen the criteria, as compared to previous years, to generate any hits.

Doing that produced this short list of likely tax-loss sellers:

DATCE FSTW PHAR APWR CMRC

Here are 1-yr charts of these stocks:

APWR recently moved to the pinks, so it should probably be removed from consideration

CVV and LUMEE should be taken off my working list. The ones I bought are BRCD CPST RGEN VITA. The option premiums on RGEN were very high and I sold Jan 5 puts on RGEN as well as buying stock.
