    No Idea can succeed except at the expense of endurance; having a hand in easing the suffering of millions is worth the pain of not knowing if we were right all along or just dreamers of a world where friends and family suffer no more.

    If you sell at a loss, then it doesn't matter the number of shares when you buy back, as it's still considered a short sale. Also, and this is VERY important.... Say that you buy shares @ .20, .15, and .08. Your cost average is around .12, so you sell when it hits .14. You end up buying back shares within the 30 day period when it drops back down to .12, but you end up with a wash sale because a portion of your original shares were purchased above the selling price.

    This happened to me before. I always thought that the wash sale was based on cost average, but it's NOT!
