Serious question:

I buy 10 shares of stock A @ $100 each in taxable account on April 1st. I then buy 10 shares of stock A @ $50 each on April 5th. If the stock is still trading @ $50 a share and I sell my 10 shares in my taxable account on May 6th, can I write off the short term loss with a cost basis of $100 as long as I don't repurchase before June 6th? Also can I sell my non-taxable account shares at any time without it being a wash sale?

>>1846454
Ignore the last sentence. It's too non specific. End it with the question ..."before june 6th"

>>What makes you qualified to give /biz/ness advice on /biz/?
I've read 1/4 of the /biz/ books, was here at the founding of /biz/ and suggested Investor's Manifesto and Four Pillars to the image, have been saving money since 2008 and investing since 2009. I'm on the path towards financial independence. And if I see a path to it and it worth doing(fucking roboadvisors, automation) I would probably be happiest in life as a Financial Planner.
I'm 29, and excluding whatever my house is worth(I've lived through too many real estate bubbles), I have 115k in 401k, 37k in ROTH, and 93k in taxable brokerage account.

>>1846454
As far as I understand it, if you wait 90 days than you're golden. It's the letter of the law, not the spirit in this case, and nobody is ever going to look over your shit to the point that they'd catch that. I think you do make sure your sale is FIFO though, just doublecheck.

>What do you do for work?
Unlock gym doors, turn on lights, work out, eat free food, check out fit girls' asses, browse interwebs for remaining 7 hours. Typical day as a gym op on a US base in Germany.

Goals...
What major did you have at uni/college?

>>1846755
Not really. But I'm working in a regional office in Australia. New York or London is probably a different story obviously. I know for a fact Melbourne is crazy

>>1846454

Yes, what makes you think you couldnt? You technically can specify what lots you want to sell, but it usually defaults to first in first out. But like you said, you have to wait 31 days before you purchase the same or similar security.

In a non taxable account like an IRA, wash sales are irrelevant

>>1846654
its 30 days before or 30 days after a sale, not 90 days.

surprisingly, I was a hospitality management major in college, which is part of the business school. When I was in college, I had no idea what I wanted to do, and there were a lot of girls in that major so it did it (obviously not thinking ahead).

A year out of school, I realized how retarded working in that industry is, and got lucky with getting hired on with a major firm where I got my licenses.

My degree hanging in my office is kinda embarrassing desu, but the CFP(R) hanging above it stands out much more.

I'm making sure I'm understanding it correctly and I literally have no one else irl to talk about it. I could call my broker but I'd literally rather ask 4 chan than sit through phone prompts

Trade school
Starting out at entry grants you experience.
If the company you work for is as generous as mine, you are allowed to study on the job and offered every study material possible to get certified such as CCNA, which I am currently doing to move up the ladder.

"admin assistant" for a wholesale mortgage lender

I basically shitpost on 4chan all day after doing a couple spreadsheets/ billing brokers for early payoffs. Just part time while I finish up school, $12/hr
