    Well, if you bought the dip yesterday and sold the pop this morning, it's a very sweet day. I also bought some puts near the top but sold them WAYYYY too early.

    Don't get too excited....this will all go away as soon as the next political party change...and then they can go back to 25 mpg.

    That's how you get a down payment on a car, not how you get early retirement.

    I have wished that an indicator lights up when we're running on some form of auto-steer/control mode. Mostly out of "See what I can do", but as a warning, as you mention, sounds like a good purpose also.

    Even if it's all made-up, I wouldn't put it past Elon to try to make it come to pass. Just for the lulz.

    People who poo-poo short term capital gains tax, I imagine, would still gladly take a large bonus from work. (If you no longer have to work now, imagine back when you did)

    That would be a self-defeating action. Not gonna happen.

    The big fear is the counting. It seems very complicated when a mix of a large variety of options and underlying stock is involved. Do you know of a program/spreadsheet that would correctly calculate the new basis across trades of varying size? All the examples I have found involve very basic...

    BE CAREFUL! Schwab told me they only match up exact options on their "disallowed loss" display, but that is not what the tax law says, as far as I know. To be compliant, 30 days either side of the loss sale you can't have bought the security or its options. This is what I am using to control. I...

    I may not be understanding your strategy, but doesn't the net zero gains rely on avoiding wash sales?

    Well, you don't have to keep any more shares in that account than to support any withdrawals you have made. It isn't "locked", per se.

    With Schwab.....I moved shares to a new account. The PAL is attached to that account. They allow withdrawal of up to 60% of the value of the shares. My Schwab margin rate is 3.5% and the PAL is 2.25%. So a small rate difference, but those shares I had intended to lock up anyway are in a...

    So long as we are OT with GME comment, I read a note about "shorting" GME by way of XRT. I bought some 90 puts this morning and they were green by 40% an hour ago. Only 25% green at the moment.
