I dont know the US tax law regarding the stock market profits. I assume that there's no profit or loss for the tax man until realized. My comment meant to say only that the taxman should not be the one who forces us to think about how sound or flawed our investment decision was. So how I would/I do act:

a) Intel is a sound investment and I hold it
b) it sucks lately so I am in red on Intel

Decision:
a) If I have any realized profits to offset and sell and buy back or
b) I do the same come January to have some "realized losses" in 98.

Right? BTW I am hoding on to (modest amount of) INTC and Dell, because I think you're right with your F/A.

Sleepless in US, Berney?

I think I hear Jimmy Stewart singing the Auld Lang Syne. Let's all now slowly EXhale. (Mr President, sir? You dont need to).
