  • What does "Trendline Penetration" mean to you?

    A while ago I asked the question:

    "Using stock technical analysis,

    what are your 3 most important metrics

    used to determine when to sell?"

    One of the answers was

    "Trendline Penetration"

    What does this mean to you?

    What do you use and how do you determine the trendline?

    How much Penetration do you allow before selling?

  • Does a long term capital loss help offset short term capital gains for reducing taxes?

    I will have short term capital gains this year from stocks I've bought and sold. I have some stocks I've held long term and could sell for a loss. I have no long term capital gains for this year. I know that federal short term capital gains are taxed as income at about 28% and long term taxed at about 18%.

    1) Will selling these long term stock at a loss help to lower the my federal taxation on my short term capital gains?

    2) Will each dollar of long term losses reduce my federal short term gains to be taxed by dollar for dollar?
