tmcal6, tax-loss selling. You make a good point. I would guess that the relative amount that individual investors hold in taxable accounts vs tax-free or tax-deferred accounts is decreasing over time. For myself, I have only about 11% of my total stocks in taxable accounts, and only 4 of 13 stocks in that account have losses, so any tax-loss selling I do will be a very small percentage of my total holdings. But I may do some.

tmcal- I've sold a few for tax losses (none that qualify for this board). I have a couple more that I will probably sell as soon as the wash rule time (31 days) goes in effect.

Tax loss selling- I've pretty much taken what I can already, at least for the way things are at the moment. There are two or three illiquid positions that I could force negativity on, but that seems counter-productive. What could bring on some more would be some sort of disappointment in stocks that do December news.
