That's the thing. I can claim a huge loss here if I sell before the end of the year. And I made a nice bundle in the winter, so this would offset those taxes nicely. But I also want to consider holding for a year to get the reduced tax rate. The majority of my shares were bought in March.

Even if I sell and buy back in immediately, I get the tax break as I would immediately realize those losses. If this is the bottom, then this would be the place to sell and buy right back in.
