Q: I have the following loss that I can claim as a tax loss- wef = 44% - usa=31% - shop=18% - meg=14% - lspd=16% - Kel=40% gud 30%. My question is there any of these stocks that have any chance they will recover before the 30 buy back period expires? I would hate to sell them and then watch them recover more that the loss that is claimable?- appreciate your thoughts

Q: Question of curiosity. Any idea what happened in the last second/close of trading today with Western Forest Products? 9.39 million shares (2.5% of shares outstanding) changed hands? From quotemedia it suggests it is a MOC trade - https://www.tsx.com/trading/toronto-stock-exchange/order-types-and-features/market-on-close - which really means nothing to me, even after reading that page (Investopedia doesn't help much either with an example of a trader selling 100 shares in a MOC order). Is it an ominous sign for tomorrow's opening?

Thanks

Q: Recently bought this stock because of the dividend security(hopefully) but I'm surprised by the downward pressure on this stock with the dividend ex-date just 2 days away I could be wrong but wouldn't some people just be hanging on for the ex date and then possibly dumping it as it almost seems to be in free fall despite being so close to that date your thoughts on this theory and also on the company here getting dangerously close to two digits YIKES thx
