Q: Hello team,

Given the situation in the market, I would like to sell some stuff to recover the taxes I paid on capital gains back in 2020. But before doing that, I have a tax question: How do I recover the taxes paid on net capital gains in previous years? Let's say that I had made a capital gain of 100K in 2020 of which I had to pay taxes on 50K. Now, assuming my income hasn't changed, if I declare 50K in capital losses this year, do I get back all tax paid on my 2020 capital gains?

I know you are not tax experts but I hope you can give me a quick and general answer.

Thanks for your guidance! :)

Q: Hi 5i
ATVI closed at $78.20. With the deal for MSFT to take them over for $95, I would like your thoughts on why the market doesn't believe the deal will proceed. And if BRK recently bought more ATVI to bet on the deal closing, should we do the same? Also would like your best guess on ATVI share price if the deal gets scuttled.
Thanks,
Greg

Q: I own these 3 stocks. I would like to own only one for a long term investment, as they all seem to be in the same field. Is this a good idea or are they different enough to hold all 3.
Thank you!

Q: It's hard to identify the market "bottom" in a timely manner, of course, but what might be the best indicators that a sustained recovery has probably begun or is soon to begin? Are there some good bellwether stocks to watch for this purpose? Are there other indicators, such as particular market indexes, or volume or volatility measures, or "mood" surveys, or economic statistics? Where should the primary focus be?

If you were to build a mini pension with 5 or 6 uncorrelated Canadian stocks/REITS, what would they be? Are they all "buys" today or would you put some (which ones) on your "watch list"?
Thank you.
