Looking to offset capital gains


I sold a few stocks at a gain. We'll say for $100. I have another stock I own that is down a total of ~$150. I'd like to avoid capital gains.

Can I sell the down stock for a $150 loss and buy back in? Will that offset the gains? Or will it be seen that I bought the same stock back and that won't do me any good?
