What is Wash Sale tax rule?
A wash sale is where you sell stock at a loss, then buy a substantially identical security to replace it during a 61-day time period starting 30 days before the sale and ending 30 days after it. If you do this, you can't deduct the loss. Three things happen in a wash sale from a tax standpoint--you can't deduct the loss on the wash sale, the loss is added to the basis of the replacement stock, and the holding period of the replacement stock is set to the holding period of the washed stock. The first one is the reason for the wash sale rule. The reason for the rule should be obvious: too many people were saving too much on their taxes by unloading stock, deducting the tax loss, then buying it back the same day because it's good stock and it's really cheap now. The second one is nice: if you bought stock for $100, sold it for $40 and bought it back a day later for $39, the IRS allows you to adjust your new stock's basis to $99--$39 stock price plus the $60 in disallowed loss. (The reason it's nice is it reduces your capital gain--or increases your loss--when you sell the replacement securities.) The third could screw you up depending on how long you held the stock in the first place: if you owned Acme for 20 years and dumped it in a wash sale, the IRS says you owned the replacement shares for 20 years. There are two ways to get around the wash sale rule: wait 31 days before buying the new stock, or buy stock in another company.

What did buying stock on margin mean in the 1920's?
"Buying on Margin" meant that you would only have to put down a small percentage of money (10%) and the broker would cover the rest. If the stock price dropped too low the broker could issue a "Margin Call" which means that the person has to repay all of the money that the broker put down. People often used this in the 1920s in order to buy more stock for less. i.e. Instead of buying 5 stock for $10, he could buy 50 stock for $10 and a loan from the broker. If you were to sell the stock, the broker would get his money back plus a portion of the profits.
