not sure.  has the investment become worthless or have you sold it. if neither and it's just a market value decline, no current loss is available. if you haven't reported the interest as income you have no deduction.even if you have if it's something like on a zero-coupon bond the same rules would apply no deduction until investment becomes worthless or you dell it. the interest discount accrued would be added to the cost of investment.
