That's the way I read it as well.FJ43 said:I think this will apply to the option contract as I just read it. Meaning it would be included in the wash sale rule if I am understanding correctly.Lt. Joe Bookman said:Right, so if he sold shares (at a loss) today and bought an option contract today on the same stock, I'd assume that is considered a wash sale, no matter how far out expiry is. I don't really know though.FJ43 said:If you sold shares at a loss its 30 days from sale to repurchase date. Not sure on the options rolling but need to check that.Lt. Joe Bookman said:I've always wondered how that works... Is it from the time you buy the option or the time you exercise it/at option expiry?FJ43 said:Maybe look to pick up some options March or May to have a reentry if you want back in outside of the wash sale rule.

Panic sold my CLOV at 11.91... only losing $4 per share. Stupid stupid stupid.
What about rolling weekly options? Are those considered wash sales?
Rolling an option seems like a gray area though, since you aren't really leaving the position.
Truthfully, I'm looking at rolling my AAPL option to March, but want to make sure it isn't considered a wash sale.
