lmao why would you ever invest? You pay taxes on unrealized gains but I'm pretty sure they won't give you breaks on unrealized losses.

Haha everytime I end up in a "disallowed wash sale" situation due to poorly setup trades I burn with rage. E.g., if I pull cash at a loss from a Mutual Fund or ETF that I auto-invest in to cover major emergency expense, and next paycheck start to rebuild that holding via automatic purchases, I can't claim the realized loss.

Under this would have been paying for any unrealized gain annually while holding it to add insult to injury.
