Kirk Kerkorian - buy high, sell low, 100 million shares of Ford, all gone.

Kirk Kerkorian has dumped the last of his 100,000,000 shares of Ford.

Buy high, sell low, anyone?

With the $3,000 max loss applied to ordinary income how many millennium will Kerkorian have to wait before he finished his harvesting?

He did the same with his Chrysler stock a few years back...and then with GM. (I love the story about his third marriage to a professional tennis player. He was 82, she was in her early 30s. It lasted one month...which was part of a pre-nup that was designed to provide for their daughter. Turned out that the daughter apparently was not Kirk's. That's when things got really messy.)
