RE:TriumphSpitSix
You can sell right up to Dec. 31 and take the tax deduction on capital losses. Trade date (as opposed to settlement date) governs for tax purposes.
Here's another option: You can take the tax loss AND buy back in during 2019, but to do so, you'll need to sell by the end of November and not buy back until a full 30 days have passed to avoid violating the "wash" sale rules.
You could also avoid a wash sale by buying additional shares now, then waiting 30 days to sell the older shares you already hold at a loss. Of course, you'll have to keep track of how many shares you have now, how many shares you buy, and sell for tax loss only the older ones using a FIFO (first in, first out) conditional sell order.
For me it's a one-way street as I think this company is going t!ts up, so will be selling in late December... and avoiding any companies these management miscreants worm their way into in the future.
Good luck to you.
