wfrazee,

Barring any major surprises I would see little change from current levels
over the next 2 - 3 months. Probably a range of 5.5 - 7.5 is the best we
may expect.

If you want to sell and re-establish your position later, you need to check
on the tax-laws of what you can and cannot do.

If you sell to offset gains elsewhere, you would be better off doing so if
you could re-establish your position at less than your tax-advantage above
your sales price. That might work.

Jan

<What do you estimate S'3's price will be 30-45 days from now.>

I'm selling this dog for tax reasons as well. If I wanted to buy it back after the wash sale rule time limit expires (30 days) I could still do so and still receive the tax benefits of selling this thing at a huge loss.

I wouldn't buy it back though. There are too many other stocks with better outlooks. Have you seen this thing on a chart? It looks like a "black diamond" ski slope.

I'm selling it next week to take as much as a loss as I can to offset my capital gains.

<The question is, should we be tax selling this stock too?>

You've got the rest of the month to decide. But if you want to realize a loss I suggest you sell before I do, because in keeping with my track record the last few months, my sell order will be the signal for TI or Motorola or somebody to tender a $15 a share offer.
