          As a dealer/owner, petitioner received a total of $893,833 in               
          income from the auto dealership while it was in business.                   
               Petitioner, on Schedule D of his 1990 Federal income tax               
          return, claimed $350,000 in capital losses under section 1244 and           
          an additional, unspecified, $50,000 loss.  In addition, the                 
          $400,000 paid to Sanwa Bank from the foreclosure proceeds was               
          claimed as a loss on petitioner's Schedule C as "personal                   
          guarante [sic] of loan from corporation".                                   
               After the termination of petitioner's auto dealership, he              
          worked almost 6 months as the manager of a Ford dealership in

          petitioner to assist a Huntington Beach, California, dealer.
