    Query. Here is an example
    I have 200,000 zzz shares at 35 cents. They are now trading at 15 cents. Major bummer actually.
    Could I purchase say for example 200,000 share at 15 cents today, and one month later sell my first in first out shares for a loss, and claim on this? I end up with the same share quantity at a lower average. I don't want to sell, just claim on the loss.
