If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Just double checking.

I know if you buy a stock/ETF within 30 days after selling it then it's a wash sale.
Does that apply for selling a stock/ETF within 30 days after buying it? Even if I have never bought or sold it before?

From the IRS language I think so. But it seems weird that it would.
