I believe in them, it's just that potential run up that's the question. Do I take a 30 day (wash sale avoidance) gap to write off against other gains? If the stock didn't move, or goes down, I'm good. If the stock goes up by more than I saved in taxes, that's bad."Never let the tax tail wag the investment dog." Or something like that. You presumably bought the LEAPS because you believed in them. If you no longer believe, then now (as opposed to next week) is a good time to sell. But if you still believe, you'll be kicking yourself if they run up during January.
I could take the loss and move it from SPWR to CSIQ I suppose, they're both ones I want to own, but I don't own CSIQ at this time.
