Great tip! But, I think it will not work in my case. All my LTTs are in the tax deferred accounts. No loss harvesting for me, I guess...

Re: Is Germany Getting Ready for Another Demagogue?

Don't worry about {the nuclear threat}; that's just ridiculous propaganda. … If Russia feels its under threat of losing badly, then sure, they very well may use nuclear weapons. ??? Yes. That does seem to be a contradiction. I, like you, will wait for the explanation as to why it is not.

Seth Klarman's Margin of Safety is a book that literally sells for thousands of dollars online. It's quite rare, as only a few hundred copies were ever printed.

Here's a PDF version that I found for anyone that is interested.
