Jim, I am not a tax expert, but I have asked that same question. Apparently, you can only take $3000 of the top. This is another case of Clinton sticking it to us. If they are going to tax us at an outrageous rate, at least let us declare our losses.

Jim, I'm a CPA. Capital Losses are limited to $3000. a year. Any losses exceeding that amount are carried forward to subsequent years.

BTW I have learned so much lurking on this and Wayne's threads and have even made more money than I thought possible. If anyone has any tax or financial statement questions just PM me and I'll try to help you out.
