RE:RE:The recent $1.9 billion SU short sale mysteryAccording to my TD account, my average sale across 30,000 shares was $44.28 per share.
Before that, I was often trading SU shares back and forth while maintaining a core position as I find trading around a core position is often very effective. My best guess without checking is that I probably averaged a $2 to $3 win per share for each of several round trips on the flips. Obviously, some trades were better than others for sure.
One of my sons did start selling SU early at just under $39. He ended up selling at an average of just under $22 per share on his 17,000 shares. He bought those share at about $22. He moaned a bit as the share price went higher and his pending tax bill on his non-TFSA shares, but he was pretty happy with his $340k win.
My other son got in a bit later ($24ish per share) but he got out closer to $49 than $48 so he won the bragging rights for the Suncor trade.
I guess trying to knock others down is your thing, but you should get your facts straight first or you end up looking pretty stupid.
