Sr. Associate

I am selling my AFN after they declared "no dividend." However before the sale, which I will use as a tax write off, I am also purchasing more AFN at this new low price before I sell off original shares. Why? AFN as I warned, was a small high risk part of my portfolio. I need the write off but still am willing to risk a small amount on a five year window. Risk is the name of the game.
