No....the July calls are substantially different than the May calls due to the different months and you would not have the wash sale rule apply. Actually, it really would not matter one way or the other as they both expire this year, the taxable event will take place this year. The loss on one will be recognized and the gain (hopefully) on the others will also be recongized. Make sense? I can double check this on Monday when I am at the office, but I do believe what I am saying is correct. Also, as I stated, in the end it doesn't matter. The taxable events will conclude this year, assuming a sale of the options as opposed to a conversion into stock. -Scott
