Q: Regarding the superficial loss question that V asked on March 5, in his case since they bought the stocks on Feb 3 and sold at a loss on Feb 10 ( i.e. less than 30 days), would it imply superficial loss by default?

Maybe they could buy the same stock again and adjust their ACB? What would be the rule that apply in this case regarding ACB adjustment, number of days, etc... ?

Q: Hi team,
I am looking to invest for my kids resp. Currently only hold a balanced fund and Ppl which I bought in the 2020 collapse. Now I am wondering about buying a quality stock which has been unjustifiably (as far as we can tell) sold off in the recent sell off of growth names. I am thinking of Prl. Would you consider it safe enough to invest in a resp account? I also note that its div is decent while I wait for recovery . I have about 4-5 years before I would have to sell it . If you don’t think Prl is a good fit do you have better suggestions ?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: In my non-registered account, If I buy 10 stocks of XYZ (new to the account )on Feb 3 and sell all 10 stocks at a loss on Feb 10. when is the soonest that I can buy the stock again to avoid superficial loss?

March 13 is 31 days after Feb 10.
April 5 is 61 days from Feb 3.
April 12 is 61 days from Feb 10.

My confusion stems from the 60/61 day restrictions. I understand the 30/31 day restrictions.

Also, if I still own XYZ in other accounts (TFSA, RESP, RRSP), could such a sale be considered superficial loss?

Q: Assuming that the reactions to the tariffs ends up being a great buying opportunity, and also that we've probably passed the crystal ball "sell everything" point, WHEN and WHERE (industries, specific favorite stocks) would you look to put new money in please?

Q: Every broker has issues, and Interactive Brokers has many. Given they also charge a commission and there are now multiple choices among Canadian Brokers for zero commission, including a bonus for transferring, I’ve finally moved my acct. Also the founder of Interactive Brokers is a very wealthy Trump supporter, so there's that as well.

Could I get your thoughts on DUOL’s earnings? As well as company potential? Is the current share price drop more market related?
