>>I think Mary, as a result of the conversation, might wait a short while to see if the Qs go back to $42 and, if they don't, she might sell $50,000 of QQQ and $50,000 of her Total Stock Market, rather than the entire $100,000 QQQ. Brinker did tell her she could do a "proportional" sale, or something like that, which I took to mean part of each. --Excellent concept dija. The loss is there and she can't do much about, but balancing the gains against the losses will minimize/neutralize the tax bite in the higher tax years before they retire.
