I guess that was my question. When you file taxes, do you calculate capital gains and losses based on the value of your holdings as of December 31? For example, if you buy 100 shares of stock XYZ for $10,000 on July 1 and the market value of the stock is $8,000 on December 31, do you "mark to market" and declare a short term capital loss of $2,000 on your tax form?

If you care to keep this private, I understand.

Best wishes,
