Yeah, but the average OTer can only count to ten without taking off his shoes and 20 without taking off his pants.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that

He made 30 bucks.

Let's say all he had to his name was the 60 dollars. When it was all over, he had 90 dollars.

Let's say that. If that's the case he couldn't have bought the horseback for $80 after selling it for $70

$20 of course.

If the second purchase was within 30 days of the first sale, it would be a "wash sale" if the first transaction had been a loss. But it wasn't. So $20 regardless.

Then how did he buy it back for $80 after he flipped it from $60- $70?? He would be $10 in the red

If you account for feeding the horse he lost money I'm sure.

Did he have to finance the $10 when he bought it the second time? Is this man considered a farmer to where he files a Schedule F with his tax return? How long did he own the horse?

All important questions to determine the amount and nature of the gain.

Did he pay taxes on the purchase and sale?
Does he have the proper license to buy and sell livestock?
How much time did he have the horse between purchase and sale? Feed ain't free.

$10 profit.

He bought it for $60 then sold it for $70 so that is $10 profit. Turns around and buys it for $80 so there goes the $10 in profit, however he sells it for $90 so he makes $10. Unless I am missing something.
