what your accountant is talking about is claiming unrealised losses.
I do it every year if I have them
eg. buy for $1.00 and if on 30 june they close @ 80c you can claim that 20c loss without selling them.
now you sell them during the year for $1.50 your gain is 70c not 50c. your new cost base (what you paid for them) is 80c
hope that is a bit clearer for you
