Sure, if you lose 9K, you can spread it out over 3 years.

if you lose a million, it will only take you 333 years to get the benefit.

In other words, when you invest you risk everything you put up, with little chance of deducting that loss, while any gains you get are taxed. 50% for 1 yr, 20% after.

Now, you seek to task people / corps for holding their gains, making it even less attractive.
