If you are sitting on any losing positions, dump them (and don’t buy them again for 30 days or you’ll be in for even bigger surprises).

It becomes a wash sale if you purchase a stock back within 30 days. You no longer get to count the previous loss on your taxes. Worst of both worlds because if you have a gain you do have to pay taxes on the gain. Ouch!
