Letâs say you buy an investment for $100, sell it for $10 and lose $90. That lost $90 is called your capital losses. Whatâs interesting about capital losses, however, is that you can actually use capital losses to help offset capital gains â past, present and future, and thereby pay less income tax.
syn: junction, juncture refer to a place, line, or point at which two or more things join. A junction is also a place where things come together: the junction of two rivers. A juncture is a line or point at which two bodies are joined, or a point of exigency or crisis in time: the juncture of the head and neck; a critical juncture in a struggle.
If you live at the junction of Main and State streets, then your house is where those two streets meet. Junction often refers to the point where streets or railway lines come together, but it can describe other things that are joined, especially things that are in motion or transmit other things. For example, your body has nerve junctions â the places where your nerves come together.
