<<But, you must have net profit to use 179. >>

Not if you are filing as a trader. I've shown net losses for years on my Schedule C (including Sec. 179 deductions), because all my capital gains are on Schedule D. Now, my Schedule D capital gains have always exceeded my Schedule C expenses, but I don't think that is required.
