90% of my trading money is in tax-deferred accounts. IRA's are perfect trading vehicles. If I thought I'd be buying Yahoo a few points lower, I wouldn't have sold. It could turn out the the decision to sell was right, and today's decision was wrong. In any event, taxes are never a consideration to me. As someone put it so well once: There are worse things than paying taxes. In a taxable account, the opportunities created from starting anew with a clean slate generally are enough to compensate for tax liability.

Anindo: Looks more like William is a fickle investor and can't make up his mind. Last batch he bought he said it was to sensitize himself to the price of the stock. I can't think of a wierder reason to buy a stock, myself. But I guess he got too sensitized and panicked out. So much for how long term investors hold on when things start going against them. Be sure that William will jump ship again when the market starts sliding again. Makes you wonder if anyone should take anything he says seriously.
