Q: Hello,
>
> I transferred a stock at a sizeable loss from a cash account to my TFSA early this year before I learned about the non-deductibility in this situation. I have now sold the stock in my TFSA at a nominal gain. Is it possible to recoup and declare the loss by claiming the difference between the initial cost and the final sale? Thank you,

Q: I noted with interest the Nov 16 question by Greg re how your personal portfolios have done this year because I was thinking of asking a related question but thought the answer might be along the lines of none of my business. But you did answer his, so here goes. In your personal portfolios do you try to market time and are you undiversified, being growth investors and all? I know you have said on occasion that you have a general audience and so your answers reflect that. And so you might not want folks to imitate you. And I get that. Still, I'm curious. thanks.

Q: This is a follow-up question where you suggested, "we would see no need to crystalize a gain on RY JUST to offset a loss. There may be other gains in the future, or one can offset a gain in prior years". I had a significant capital gain in 2021, If I don't sell RY to crystalize a gain in 2022, do you think that offsetting the JE loss in 2021 would be better than offsetting the loss in the future? Taxwise, my income is likely to be lower in 2022-2023 than in 2021, where I claimed significant capital gains.
