We'll see you tomorrow.

A lot of people are starting to look at their calendars, but is that where long-term investors should be focused?

This is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money.

My name is Jon Quast.

I'm joined today just by Matt Frankel, my colleague and contributor, longtime Fool contributor.

And we are looking at several things today.

We're looking at some stocks on our radar.

We're going to talk some Tesla earnings.

But first up, we're going to start hearing some of these calendar terms in investing in coming weeks and months.

And Matt and I just want to start to cut through some of the noise that you may start to hear.

investment decisions based on the calendar.

And we'll talk more about that in just a moment.

But we want to start off here by talking about some terms.

And so one of the terms you may start hearing is tax loss harvesting.

We're entering into tax loss harvesting season.

Matt, what is tax loss harvesting?

And why do people start talking about it right now?

Yeah, I think that's such a great point to make, Matt, because one of the things that we understand about stock market investing is if you're invested in an individual stock, what can happen in a single year is it can be quite volatile.

You can be up profoundly or you can be down very despairingly.
