Joe owns 1,500 shares of Eagle, Inc. stock that he purchasedover ten years ago for $80,000. Although the stock has a currentmarket value of $52,000, same still views the stock as being asolid long-term investment. He has sold other stock during the yearwith overall gains of $30,000, so he would like to sell the Eaglestock and offset the $28,000 loss against these gains – but somehowkeep his Eagle investment. He has devised a plan to keep his Eagleinvestment by using funds in his traditional IRA to purchase 1,500Eagle shares immediatly after selling the shares he currnetlyowns.
