RE:Three scenarios from the last 3 months...RaptorT...might I point out what I consider a flaw in your post/opinion????
Regardless of your entry dollar amount, a wise investor can always sell his/her position, even @ a loss. Experienced investors understand that the preservation of capital is more important than taking a onetime loss...keep some to fight another day...and don’t forget to use the tax-loss provisions to your advantage.
Read up on the CRA website and consult a tax professional that specializes in equity market investment.
JMHO.....best of luck.
