On August 10, 2004, an investor purchased 1,000 shares of Universe Corporation for $15,000. On January 2, 2005, the stock became worthless. What is the recognized gain or loss and how is it classified?

Report it on schedule D and write down "worthless" on the date columns. However, you can only deduct up to $3,000 a year.
