Now she angleshoots me by saying OOT isn't representative, what's my next move OOT

Wrap this up, and let her see the $19.99 price tag







Then grab it and start to beat her violently over the head with it. Tell her you'll give her the book and stop doing it for $25.

Either she'll realize that sometimes the market value of something is different than the purchase price or she dies with her last words being, "but then I'll be paying more than its wooooorth!!!!!"

This should srsly be your next move. I suppose you could make it work without beating her with it if you must tho. But if she still doesnt catch on then i'd be worried

[censored] you people are noobs.

Sell the stock to the cult member.
Buy one call option contract at $20 for a months or two out.
Deduct the loss on your taxes.

* $3800 cash money in your pocket for hookers and blow
* the ability to get the stock back at $20 in case there is sudden upward movement in the price so you can't get screwed by the timing of your sale
* another $2k in savings on your tax bill
* no downside
