Allen Greenspan
We all need to learn if Allen Greenspan is giving an interview or speech the market will go DOWN. He opened his mouth on CNBC and the market went down an additional 100+ points. He is still pusing a 50% chance of recession and the market does not want to hear that.

Market to Market Accounting
One method to write off paper losses against CC income is to use Market to Market accounting. The end of the year the paper gains and losses of all positions are adjusted to the price the last day of the year. This assists with large underwater stocks. The new adjusted price becomes the new cost for tax purposes so you are only deferring the gains tax until the positions recovers.
