Q: Greetings 5i team, I need to harvest some tax losses and these 4 stocks are my candidates, my question is regarding buy back strategy. (1) I intend to buy back PFE but in my RIF vs CASH account; (2) I intend to buy back both ILMN and BCE; (3) not planning to buy back FSZ; (4) not planning to use proxies for any. Does this make sense or would you do it differently? Thank you.
