First, harvesting tax losses is popular enough that it can have a marked impact on a stock's price. If a stock has fallen substantially during the year, those losses often get worse during the fourth quarter as tax-loss sellers dump their shares for whatever the market is willing to pay. Moreover, institutional investors like mutual fund companies often have a different fiscal year, forcing them to consider tax-loss selling by the end of October rather than waiting until the end of the calendar year. Selling early can give you better prices for your stock losers than waiting.

Yeah Sea Pigeon, appreciating your take presenting deliberately low PPS sales for a "Tax Loss" write off by the higher end players. Here's a repost of that link you provided Daily Finance Article

Don't Wait Until December to Sell Your Investment Losers by Dan Caplinger Sep 9th 2013 11:32AM

The topic has been brought up before, maybe it was you, and certainly seems viable.

Alrighty then, more than enough to speculate on here.

Hoping for a turn this week. Only three shopping days left in the Fiscal Year.
