Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
To be fair though, many early retirees are in the 15% tax bracket or lower and would typically pay 0% on capital gains anyway... though it is nice that you can do more low tax cost Roth conversions because of your tax losses.
Thanks for pointing this out. I have gotten so used to paying cap gains in the 33% bracket I didn't realize there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I hope that tax break still exists when I have more control over my income when I retire. Until then I am a tax loss harvesting farmer.
