Q: Wow - did I ever screw up! I bought PKI shares on October 30 not realizing there was a deal already in the works with Sunoco. It appears to me that I lost half my investment in a week. Can I use this as a tax loss?

5i Research Answer:

The loss should not be that much. The takeover was for cash and shares and both should show in an account. The shares are SUNC, not SUN
