Taxes :-( Luckily 2/3 of my shares are in my IRA. Those I can Flip (if I wanted to) and pay no taxes, But I can only do it once every 3 days. That how long it take to clear the trade in an IRA. In my Cash account, I have a $3000 loss for life that I can trade against yearly. Nothing wrong with paying taxes, that usually mean you are MAKING money!
