Hey sorry just saw this, the question was more of, if I'm classed as a share trader, its a revenue loss not a capital loss so, a $100,000 loss after a $600,000 gain is just being taxed for $500,000 ($250,000) so the loss sucks but as its pushed against the rest it's only a $50,000 loss, (although if I didn't loss it it would stand as a $100,000 gain taxed 50% = $50,000 gain so a reality check for me is I've still lost and honest $50,000.
