There seems to be quite a bit of trading going at this site so maybe someone can answer two questions for me. I have read somewhere that when you sell a security at a profit, the wash sale rule does not apply if you repurchase in less than 30 days. Is this correct? Secondly does the wash sale rule apply to option trading or does it only apply to stock trades?

Thanking you in advance.
