Well, not really. I sold my IWD and SPY that were in my taxable account. I immediately bought approximately the same dollar amount of VTI. I may or may not undo this in late December. My tax deferred accounts are untouched.

I am now the proud owner of 20 years of $3,000 deductions for Sch D capital losses. The preferred alternative is to pay for capital gains in my VTI as I sell it off in retirement. Either way I'm going to relive the joys of 2008 for a long time to come.

I still have my 300 shares of BAC. It used to have over a 300% profit but it's now down to 16% and the day's not over yet.
