Reinvest right away after Tax Loss Harvesting

Just a reminder that if you practice tax loss harvesting be sure to immediately reinvest in another similar - but not the exact same type (!) - etf or stock so that your investments keep working for you during these times of extreme volatility (both up and down). I recently took capital losses on VXUS (Vanguard Total International Stock Market) and within 5 minutes reinvested the proceeds in DFAI (Dimensional International Core Equity). The next day the markets rebounded 10%. The markets could have dropped 10% too but the overall point generally is don’t guess the market direction when tax loss harvesting. Stay invested.
