In a previous article I talked about how important it is to stretch the psoas muscle. This can cause many complications including back pain. To recap, most people have tight and shortened psoas muscles. The common activity of sitting causes our psoas to be consistantly shortened for extended periods of time.
The sale on March 31 is a wash sale. The wash sale period for any sale at a loss consists of 61 days: the day of the sale, the 30 days before the sale and the 30 days after the sale. (These are calendar days, not trading days.
If I sell a stock at a profit, and then use that money to re-purchase the same stock at a lower price within 30 days, would I still have to report the money I made from the original sale for that tax year? As an example: I buy 100 shares of A for $1 in 2010 I sell all 100 shares of stock A for $2 in 2011 I re-purchase 200 shares of A for $1 within 30 days I've read about the wash rule, and somewhat understand that I can't report losses, but what about gains, is this a double standard?
