Q: Good morning 5i
Another question about the superficial loss rule. I would like to buy Magna in a registered account todau and then sell it in my non registered account for a tax loss in thirty days. But, I believe I remember reading somewhere that you say that I would have to hold it for sixty days before selling. If this is right, I can"t understand why. I would appreciate any clarification.\
thanks

Q: Citi continues to be the perennial underachiever in its club. I trimmed down to a half-position months ago. From reading the financial media, I sense that the relatively new CEO should be able to push Citi out from its corner where it sits wearing a dunce-cap. One worries however about the massive costs inevitable in most turnarounds. Do you have an opinion on whether such costs are implicit in Citi’s current low price. Is it worth topping up the position? If no, what is better — ride it out or give up on the poor thing before it makes me poor? I sometimes hold on to securities that are generally disliked because they often turn out to be strong performers later.

Q: 5i Team.
I would be interested in your comments and review of the proposed TSX IPO from Northern Genesis Acquisition (SPAC) to support the transaction with Embark. Specific questions I have include:
1) Does the financial transaction; including actual cash injection and share ownership by Northern Genesis of the merger line out to other SPAC deals?
2) Pros/cons of perhaps investing directly in Embark on NYSE with NGAB vs. the proposed TSE listing of NGCS?
Thx. Steve

Q: This question is about REAL...which is held in a TFSA....and is down 66% or 4,700 loonies as of this evening, Oct 25th As it is held in at TFSA,and not being able to claim a capital loss for tax purposes, I wondering what my options are?....and this stems from  REAL being recently sold from the 5iR Growth Portfolio What comes to mind is  #1..like sell now before the real tax loss season begins as it is likely to decline further #2..repurchase as the tax loss selling season ends or when it shows momentum #3...or just bit the bullet and move on Keen to get your take for my particular situation, even though you have moved on, or is there some other option, as I work to recover the loss, which I already know is not the best approach and something I don't do but as it is in the TFSA, I mentally just want to make up any loss on selling it by repurchasing it, crazy as it seems, eh?!.........Tom

Q: Lovely. This internecine 'Battle of the Board' is more fun than watching similar machinations play out on the HBO mini-series 'Succession'.

"The turmoil within Rogers Communications spilled into the public last week as Rogers’ only son, Edward, sought control of the company after being ousted as chair of the board by his mother and sisters. Now, two factions within the company’s senior ranks are fighting for dominance over the company’s future."
