I got tired of getting the Wash sale mark next to some of my stocks because I sold at a loss, or sold a portion of it while it was down from the day before (even though my total gain was still green), and buying back the same or similar stock within 30 days. So I don't sell anymore if it's in the red, even if it's down a penny.
Would this hurt me in the long run? I feel like I did miss out on some opportunities to invest in other stocks with the same capital because I refused to sell. I wonder if avoiding wash sales is worth this loss of opportunity.
