Valuations have swelled, with the Magnificent Seven trading at an average forward price-to-earnings ratio of 33.5, compared with the S&P 500's P/E of 18.3. “Everybody knows these guys are going to make money," said Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute (WFII), referring to the Magnificent Seven. "The reallocation of funds going forward is going to suggest lower returns and more difficulty for the Magnificent Seven to maintain their leadership." The seven companies' combined market capitalization topped 30% of the S&P 500's overall market value earlier this month, according to LSEG Datastream. Some investors are also drawing distinctions among the seven stocks.

That means many investors will have to sell assets at a loss, going against one of the most basic investing rules, to buy low and sell high. How tax loss harvesting works Investors who have sold assets at a loss this year from a brokerage account can use that to offset or even completely erase any capital gains taxes owed. If your losses exceed your capital gains or you didn't have any, you can deduct up to $3,000 of income from your federal tax bill. Evercore ISI in a Nov. 6 note made a list of such stocks that it sees as good buying opportunities if you sold a similar name for tax loss harvesting. Because of this, it may make sense to consult both a tax professional and a financial advisor to ensure you're using tax loss harvesting as efficiently as possible.

An extreme example of this is investor and Palantir Technologies founder Peter Thiel, who grew a Roth IRA from $2,000 to about $5 billion in about two decades. Rules of conversion Converting assets to a Roth IRA can get around some of the other limitations on the accounts. Investors should also consider the bill they'll have by converting assets into a Roth IRA now. It also usually only makes sense to do a Roth conversion if you see your tax rate increasing in the future.
