You can use it for multiple years. I feel like it’s up to 5 or 7 but I’m not 100%

The write off yes, but I'm going to owe on capital gains for last year and too late for current losses to count.

Not to make this political..but some of you are actually too stupid to be allowed to vote!


No offense

That’s actually our motto here in current events. No one should vote and our authoritarian is best authoritarian.

Yep ... luckily I had 3 1/2 quarts of 90% Isopropyl alcohol on hand and I had 3 60oz hand sanitizer as well.
We also had 2 containers of Clorox wipes on hand and 1 quart of Clorox spray disinfectant.
And 4 100 boxes of alcohol preps.

Not prescient but prepared.

I just mix bleach with water to make my own spray.

I don't use hand sanitizers. Just soap and water.

mud will protect you against everything

I love this new made up math. My car hasn’t lost any value because someday it’ll be an antique and I can sell it for more than I bought it for! So much winning!

thats true . glad you're finally waking up

So if I lose half of my chips playing poker ...I wouldn’t have actually lost anything...if I don’t cash them in??

I get it... but there is no guarantee that the markets go back up!

another bad example. when you lose the chips you no longer have them so its a loss.

when you hold the stock you dont lose any money until you sell. hope that helps

And all the Trump gains on the Dow weren’t really gains. It’s all nothingness.

You don’t lose until you’re broke. You still have half your chips, those chips give you access to hands, which gives you potential gains.

So yes, you haven’t lost any money until you call it quits and go cash in to leave.

I've been doing this for 40 years or so.
It's common language and it's based on IRS regulations.
Give it sometime and it will sink in.

Or make any money until you sell ... ask the IRS.

At least concede that people can not “cash out” as much in their equity accounts today as they could have “cashed out” a couple of months ago!!

Never mind, if you don’t care that is awesome for you!

All is well
