Wash sales are a pain to track with all the price adjusting so I try to avoid them, but so far selling fannie in even months and freddie on odd months seems to not trigger them.

I have heard conflicting answers as to whether I am allowed to take a loss on Fannie right after buying Freddie and vice versa. I know they are essentially identical stocks, but technically they are completely separate companies.

yes

(and try and do them inside an IRA)
