I'm trying to find out of I screwed myself here: I bought 100 shares of AAPL at 160 and sell it, three months later, at 130 -- a 3,000 loss. But the same day -- don't ask why -- I bought a single stock futures -- 1 Long AAPL, which I later sold at a 500 profit. Do I have a 3,000 short-term loss and a $500 short-term gain. Or not?
