mayvid, that is very true. Near the end of the year many will sell some Pennies they might be sitting on with a loss to use those losses to offset gains they may have for the year. It usually is not that noticeable but it is something that happens. In fact, I will be doing the exact same thing on a could that I have held very long at a loss now to help offset some of my gains on the year. Hope this makes sense.
