Nope. You still don't get it. But that is OK. I'm happy with with I
do and you are only wondering if you missed something important. As
long as you are happy with your investment strategy, you should stick
with it.
I probably shouldn't stick my nose in here, but I get the
impression you were talking about reducing your taxes
to zero for a given year, whereas Allan was talking
about making a profit. Two completely different things.
If so, you've had a long exchange talking past each
other without resolving that, but maybe I'm missing
something and shouldn't have stuck my nose in.

You are always welcome to comment even if I may not agree with some
things you say.

I think Islander has painted himself into a corner and is unwilling to
admit it. If he can't explain how a 3 dollar gain offset by a 3
dollar loss somehow got him tax free income but can do it, it is too
good to be true. And you know what they say about things that sound
to good to b e true.

I have made a serious mistake here and it didn't have anything to do with my math. The mistake was talking too much on usenet about my personal finances. You seem like a decent person, but there is another here who is attempting to cause me trouble. I've been audited, don't like it, and while everything that I do is legal, jousting with the IRS is time consuming, annoying, and can be expensive. So, I am dropping this topic and will be more careful in the future.

Meanwhile, be careful of those who reveal personal information on usenet. You never know what they will stoop to.
