Lyons Wealth, CEO, Sander Read Quoted by Wall Street Journal
Tax-Loss Harvest
Focusing on tax-loss harvesting in the fourth quarter is often done for practical reasons, according to Sander Read, chief executive of Lyons Wealth Management in Winter Park, Fla. "As you get into fall, you'll have a sense of what your wins were and what your losses were and you can look for opportunities."
That said, volatility can make tax-loss harvesting a year-round opportunity. "Every day is an opportunity to harvest losses," Lee says, especially since losses can always be carried forward. "A loss incurred in January is just as good as a loss realized in December."
