That's a neat play. I might try that on some of the animals I'm currently feeding, ya gotta do something to keep your attitude in shape on these down days. Thanks for the tip.

Robbie,

I thought to take a loss, you can not buy similar securities within a 30 day window both prior and after the sale that generate the loss.

as others have indicated, that won't work...if you want to take a tax loss you can't do a trade in the securities 30 days either side of the sale
