Crystallization The act of selling and buying stocks almost instantaneously in order to increase or decrease book value. Notes: This is a routine method used by many investors and companies to change book values without changing beneficial ownership. An example of this occurs when an investor needs to take a capital loss for a particular stock, but still believes the stock will rise. Thus, he/she would crystallize the paper loss by selling the stock and buying it back right away.
Most tax agencies have regulations (such as the wash sale rule) to prevent taking a capital loss in this fashion. |

44 min High crystalization speed with Milliken's HPN-68 nucleator can shorten cycle times by as much as 40%. Because the properties of gray iron are greatly influenced by the thermal and chemical changes occurring from its molten stage to cooled casting, more nucleation sites and more heat of crystalization limit undercooling and promote equilibrium, or slower, solidification. Also called amorphous metals, these glasses possess unusual electronic and magnetic properties but are tough to make because the molten metal must cool very quickly to prevent crystalization, says chemist Kenneth S. |
