any familiarity here with tax code?

there must be something wrong with this picture. suppose i have short term gains. i buy some msft and get the $3 special dividend and take a corresponding -$3 loss on the stock. the short term loss balances my short term gains, and i pay tax only on the dividend.

sounds like free money ... something must be wrong ...
