Q: When should investors consider Tax Loss selling to reduce taxes and why is it a good idea?
A: The McGowanGroup recommends, after major financial market rallies, that investors eliminate weaker positions in the second and third quarters of the year to avoid holding positions that may come under pressure as other investors harvest tax losses to reduce taxes during the fourth quarter. In fact, tax loss selling pressure on out of favor assets/asset classes may present an ideal entry point for investors savvy enough to realize bargains near year end.
