When I posed this question the last thing I expected was a vote of confidence for listening to what the IRS had to say on the subject.
I see nothing wrong with looking it at it this way, as long as we all understand that Jan 1st - Dec 31st are imposed human constructs and the lines of demarcation they imply are equally contrived.
The questions I asked are designed to reveal peoples feelings relating to winning or losing over time frames that are apparently subjective to each individual.
Let's not restrict ourselves to legal or dictionary definitions. Let your minds wander and speak from the heart.
Already, from the few replies, a picture is beginning to form that could have us perched on a precipice of real understanding into human cognition. A few more data points might be enough to knock us over the edge.

How are you doing is an EASY answer.
According to the IRS for most of us, it is the result what happens between Jan.1 thru Dec. 31.
Since you can't carry losses forward, nor "save" winnings for another tax year.
So... how are you doing is ALWAYS a yearly result.
