Q: Hello team,

A quick question regarding tax losses: I sell a stock at a gain and then buy the same stock say the next day. At the end of the year, I pay taxes on the gain. Then I sell the same stock in the next year at a loss. Can I claim a tax loss on the stock? I am not sure if there would be a problem with the 30 day rule in this case, right?

Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Q: Hi Team,
Rogers Sugars stock is falling more than 10% today. I am following it as a possible defensive income stock to add to my portfolio ... Is it a good time to buy the stock?
What is your evaluation of the stock as of today and your explanations on the reasons behind today's big drop.

Thank you.

Q: I am interested in buying Cummins for a long term (5-10 year) hold, or a comparable industrial in USF. Honeywell is my only other USF industrial. Could you please give me your opinion on purchasing it on the fall, or recommend other industrials, with a at least a small dividend.
Your advise is always appreciated!

Q: Just for my understanding, what is it about SHOP that makes it so appealing? Looking at their financials, their costs have ramped up almost as much as their revenue. Revenue has grown 1600% over 5 years but they still haven't turned a profit. With revenues approaching 1 Billion, in order to achieve a reasonable P/E of say 25 based on today's price, they would need to increase earnings from a loss of 0.53 per share , to a profit of 8.00 (based on FY17), which represents revenue of 743B! I know the math isn't precise, but I think it illustrates my point.
