When the folks at the IRS wrote that law they were apparently only thinking of folks not interested in losing
money as the tax law in terms of time applies only to capital gains, apparently if you're losing money then you
are welcome to rid yourself of that burden anytime without further inconvenience nor penalty from the IRS.

Insofar as gains are concerned, did you foresee today's rally?
Yesterday, did you know we would be almost 100% in the green today?
And you managed to take appropriate action so as to cash in on it?

If the answer is no, I would likely recommend hanging on to your stocks.
That is, unless all they're doing is losing money.

The IRS will even pay you to do so!
