RE:RE:RE:RE:Superficial loss rules suggest ..... Yes, some funds have a policy of finishing tax loss selling by the end of November to get out in front of funds and retail. They will be jumping back in sooner rather than later in the coming days. Retail is almost always late for tax loss selling. They will be sitting out, or taking a superficial loss.

This is a tough one for tax loss sellers who have already seen their tax loss advantage evaporate with BTE surge 20%+ from its low but still more than three weeks to wait before they can buy back or nullify their capital loss with the superficial gain rule.
Tough spot to be in watching the stock you have held through all the pain finally make some outsized gains. Regret and FOMO will bring some of those investors back in early.
BTE sell off is badly overdone. Greager needs to rebuild confidence in this name. He's got the assets. He needs to deliver and this will rerate. Oil prices do NOT have to be higher for BTE to double this year.

John S. just mentioned he's a buyer of BTE and VRN this AM on BNN.. ;-)
