...i'm sure after the carnage... many "will never trade again" for a long time...
And each year that loss is carryed over, the present value of the dollar amount loss is slowly eroding becuase of the forever weakening USD... Where $1 say 5 years from now is worth a heck of a lot less than now...
Personally people in this situation, I would seriously consider trying to get yourself classified under Section 475(f) rules such that the carryover limits do not apply....
