Hello. I'm James Altucher. I made a name for myself banging the drum on crypto. If you'd gotten in on bitcoin when I predicted its rise in 2013… And sold at its peak in 2021… Your investment could have skyrocketed by 60,417%. I'm here to tell you… Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be 10X BIGGER. If you missed out before… Could this be your second chance? In this free online presentation… I reveal my 3 AI predictions… That could change your future and that of your family and heirs.
1. You'll see how a new kind of AI… Will crack open a brief “wealth window” in America. I believe the opportunity is starting now… And will end January 9, 2024. If you follow the blueprint I reveal HERE… You could get in on a $15.7 TRILLION market boom.
2. You'll also see why most “experts” are dead WRONG about what is coming.
3. You'll see exactly how, if you follow my blueprint…
It could be possible to turn 10,000… Into $1 MILLION over the next few years. Additionally, I'll also show other opportunities that you can get into starting with as little as $144. This could happen even if you don't know anything about technology or investing. This “second chance” opportunity to get in on innovative tech… Will create a tidal wave of new wealth… For those who know where to look. It could be you. All the details you need are right here.
P.S. To show you I'm serious about helping you get in on this opportunity, I'm giving away one of my top 5 AI 2.0 stock picks – free. See my top 5 pick here now.
Claiming you love tax season is like saying you enjoy root canals, traffic jams, stubbing your toe, and hangovers — and especially all at once.
You’re either a sadist, a masochist, a psychopath, or something worse than all of them: an accountant whose dating profile says he has a “passion for the U.S. tax code.”
I don’t know about you…
But I procrastinate doing things I hate.
Which is why it’s December 15…
And I’m only now thinking about my tax loss harvesting strategy.
The good news? It’s not too late.
If you’re also looking to do some last-minute finagling to save some money, we’ve got you covered.
First things first: What is tax loss harvesting?
Here’s a little history…
The History of the Method
Tax loss harvesting is a strategy where you sell investments at a loss to reduce your tax burden.
And it’s nothing new.
The U.S. income tax, established in 1913 after the ratification of the 16th Amendment, didn't distinguish much between earned income and capital gains — at first.
Over the years, as the tax code “evolved” (if that’s what you want to call it), the distinction between these types of income became more pronounced, and the idea of offsetting capital gains with capital losses became more strategically important for investors.
One pivotal moment was the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression.
Investors who incurred significant losses in the market crash could use those losses to offset other taxable income (though the rules at the time were different from today's).
AKA, “tax loss harvesting.”
This period marked a significant point in financial history, where the understanding and management of investment losses (and their tax implications) became crucial for many investors.
What To Do With Your Crypto
Starting with the obvious:
If you clock in gains on December 31, 2023, at 11:59PM, you’re going to have to pay in April.
Meaning, unloading investments right now where you’re up makes little sense, unless there’s an absolute need to liquidate now.
Now, what about those not-so-stellar performers in your portfolio? Here's a strategy that only currently works for crypto: sell them, then immediately rebuy.
You can’t do this with stocks. If you sell, you have to wait 30 days to buy back in.
BUT the IRS hasn't yet clamped down on wash sales for digital assets. This loophole might not be around forever, so keep that in mind.
Imagine you're sitting on Bitcoin with a $42k basis, but it's trading at $31k on the last day of 2023.
Selling on December 31 locks in a $15k loss, which you can immediately turn around by repurchasing, resetting your basis at a lower level.
And there's more:
If you’re holding worthless NFTs, there are services that’ll buy your NFT for less than a penny, allowing you to count it as a loss.

What To Do With Your Stocks
Alright, so you can't play the same immediate buy-back game with stocks as you can with crypto, thanks to the IRS's wash-sale rule.
But don't worry; there are still some savvy moves you can make with your stocks before the year wraps up.
First up, take a good look at your portfolio.
Identify stocks that are underperforming – the ones that make you wince every time you check your portfolio. These are your candidates for tax loss harvesting.
Selling these stocks can help offset gains you've made elsewhere, reducing your overall tax bill.
Just remember, once you sell, you can't buy back the same stock for 30 days.
What to do after selling those losers? This could be a great opportunity to diversify.
If your portfolio is heavy on tech stocks, for instance, consider reinvesting in other sectors (like, as James recommends for 2024, cybersecurity). This not only helps in managing risk but also prepares your portfolio for different market conditions.
Finally, there's a trick called a “tax-swap.”
Say you have a losing stock, but you still believe in its long-term potential. After selling it (and logging that tax-loss), you can buy a similar stock or ETF in the same industry. This way, you stay invested in the sector, adhere to the wash-sale rule, and still reap the benefits of tax loss harvesting.
(Restrictions apply to the tax-swap rule, so make sure you’re staying above board.)
Remember, the key here is timing.
And sometimes the best thing to do is NOTHING. So don’t feel bad if these tricks don’t apply to your situation.
But if they do…
With the year-end fast approaching, these moves need to be made soon to count for this tax year.
And of course, while we're all about smart financial moves, consulting with a tax professional is always a good idea to ensure your actions align with current tax laws and your personal financial situation.
There you have it – a few ways to make your stocks work for you as we say goodbye to 2023.
Whether it's crypto or stocks, playing it smart can save you a bundle come tax time.
Happy harvesting!

Hi, James Altucher here. No doubt, you've seen the news media rave about NVIDIA's stellar performance. Their recent earnings blowout didn't disappoint… With record revenues of $18.12 billion, up a whopping 206% from just a year ago. And thanks to the massive AI boom, future earnings will likely continue to crush expectations. If you already owned NVIDIA stock before the jump – congratulations. But if you didn't, don't worry… Because NVIDIA isn't the biggest tech opportunity on my radar… Today, I want to show you how I believe… Between now and January 9, 2024… AI 2.0 will open a brief “wealth window”… I believe this “wealth window” could deliver huge returns in 2024 – which could dwarf NVIDIA's recent surge. In fact, I now predict that AI will be the first $100 TRILLION industry. That means trillions up for grabs to those who get in early… But this rare “wealth window” will slam shut on January 9, 2024. That's why you need to act now… I've put everything you need to know in this video [HERE]… So click here to discover how this “wealth window” could help make you richer in 2024.
