RE:RE:ADHD TradersA loss is a loss.
So they have to pay tax on x amount profit earned on ZEN.
Then they lose y amount on BKT.
x - y = profit
Bottom line they lost part of overall gain they made on ZEN.
That statement you made is a gambler's denial statement made up by stockbrokers and bankers to make people think they actually never lose their money :)
My ZEN shares are in a TFSA and I will not pay any tax at all even if it goes to $1000 a share.
