Q: Hello team,

Do you see today as a good buying opp for LSPD? Does a takeover rumor of SHOP really justify a drop in LSPD? To me, it doesn't seem like it, and the notion that it would , would be based on a lot of presumptions that the sale of SHOP would hurt Lightspeed in any meaningful way. I have seen days like this before and more often than not prove to be good buying opportunities in a short period of time. Your thoughts please, thanks.

Q: Re your answer to Terence that he will not be able to claim his loss on LSPD because he bought them back in ANOTHER account within the 30 day period. The capital loss can be added to the Adjusted Cost Base of the new shares so that he eventually will get the benefit of the loss PROVIDED he bought the new shares in a taxable account. I have at times ignored the 30 day rule when it was beneficial to rebuy shares within the 30 days.

Q: See previous question below - obliviously bad advise + poor judgment on my part Anyway in order to salvage something I bought 200 shares LSPD back today in another account. Am right in assuming that the loss in the first account still stands and that as long as I do not buy any thru that account I will still be able to claim the loss?. Thanks PS do you see LSPD going back to test the $49 high in the next short time ? Appreciate you guidance (win some lose some )


I recently sold LSPD to crystalize a tax loss I sold it on Nov 22 for $29:72 presently its at $31 and change. I sold it after getting your opinion on tax loss selling. When I asked the question I was specific about LSPD and pointed out the risk of the stock increasing beyond the $4599 loss in the 30 day window. (always planned on buying it back. Anyway in the last 2 days the stock has gone up over 2 dollars (I had 800 shares so that approx. $1600) I am getting nervous about the stock rallying. Can I have your thoughts should I buy it back now before it takes off and goes back up to previous high of $49 ? or?

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: Hello 5i
I own all of the companies noted. I'm wondering if there is excessive overlap here and if I should sell one or more in an effort to reduce overall holdings?
Thanks
Dave
