The ability to find closely correlated positions to Costco Wholesale could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Costco Wholesale when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Costco Wholesale - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Costco Wholesale Corp to buy it.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Costco Wholesale Corp moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
