Re: Tax questions about selling stock/mutual funds
[ QUOTE ]
well im just getting into investing but if i sold a stock that was up 25k and on decmeber 31st a different one that was down 25k wouldnt it make sense to sell if i figured i would be in a much higher tax bracket that year than any year in the forseeable future?

From a tax perspective, yes, it makes sense to take a big capital loss in a year that you have a big capital gain IF you intend on selling it anyway. Again, don't let the tax implications completely drive your investment decisions. It's a factor, but certainly not the only one.
