Tax question - off topic but probably of interest to most

["Dan Dick" <dandick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I hope it is ok to ask this question on this forum.  It isn't 
TradeStation related but since we're all investors, I have a question
that may be of interest to others, too.

Did you ever have a situation where you had a whopping gain right before 
the end of the year and a matching whopping loss immediately afterward?  
We had a spike of about $100k which is a lot for us.  I'm wondering if 
I'm going to be stuck with the taxes.

Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong forum.  I hope this is of use to 
others.
