Investors & landlords

@NCperson, thanks for replying. Wanted some clarity on this part: "the washsale triggers all purchase transactions that occur 30 dayseither sideof a loss transaction, so you have to look 30 days prior, the day of, and 30 days after the transaction or 61 days."

 

So in your scenario, is it a wash sale because you made a loss on one set of purchases while you might have made a profit at another? To clarify, if the stock had gone down to $9, would it have been a wash sale regardless of which lot of shares you sold, just because you purchased shares 30 days prior? That would technically mean that almost any short-term trading loss would result in a wash sale and that seems weird to me.
