14/07/2020 13 18/07/2020 16 3
Total Profit 10

so when I file CGT how revenue could possibly tell which trade related to which profit/loss.
Can I not offset the loss I faced on 08/6 from towards tax after 28 days (in this case 8/7).
If I continue this through out the year for different shares could I not probably offset all my losses against the gain when it comes to the CGT?
Am I missing something?

Bob Harris

You can out what you like in the computation but if revenue come-a-knocking you'll need back up to support your calculations.
In the like of DeGiro they will send out a statement for every year.

As for offsetting - the rule is essentially - you can't use losses on disposals to offset other gains if the share whose loss you are using, you buy back within 28 days.

You buy 50 shares for 10 = 500
they drop to 5 - you sell them and use the 250 loss to offset other gains.
A week later they drop to 1 - you buy another 50.
You've saved 80 quid (250 * 33) by offsetting the loss and bought the same amount of shares now for 50. You've made a profit of 30 odd euro.
That's why the 28 day rule exists.

Hello jinish,

Have you considered Revenue may consider you a trader and charge you income tax instead of CGT.

More knowledgeable people on the specifics of trading might jump in. But, if you have 100s of trades on the go, I'd be surprised if you were treated as having a CGT liability, rather an IT Liability.

Am i right in thinking also that you can't count a loss if you sell the share within 4 weeks?

Anybody looking at PLUG? Tempted to buy a few.

Bought at $1.35 in Feb 2019, sold at $2 a month later. Should have held on!

... I bought shares in WT BRENT CRUDE SEC about 3 months ago... For some reason the price hasn't been updating recently...It seems last time it was updated was on June 20th and was €15.67...
...I am now unable to sell them, and when I tried to buy 1 to see, it says it is no longer available... What would be the reason for this...Could they be delisted? And if yes, what if anything can I do?...
...I'm using Degiro FYI...

Regarding delisting so long as the price hasn't dropped under 1 you should be able to sell it on Degiro just not buy any more

Take Your Pants Off

Anyone looked into BYFC, apparently with Blackout going on July 7th, investors expect this stock to rocket. It has already jumped 20% pre market

Man, when a companies website has it's Nasdaq ticker front & centre on their product offering, it worries me that they're focusing on the wrong things.

probably, but when my holding of SOLO is up 40% since I bought them, I really dont care

the 3 gun stocks I posted about a few weeks ago, $RGR, $SWBI and $VSTO havent really looked back

I see NIO are motoring again in pre-market. Sales are up a bit - still way off where they need to be but they seem to be gaining a decent foothold in their own market. My patience and faith has paid and I'm inclined to leave them LT. Everything EV is flying recently.

EV is the future - need big patience and 5-10 year hold times.

I'm only in SOLO at the moment but NIO is another on my radar

Dont forget WKHS aswell, but I'd be inclined not to jump in now as its going extremely over bought...next dip ;-)

Going to buy another share in Alphabet today (Goog).
Long term its a safe bet as they have their cloud segment and are also going to benefit from companies boycotting the likes of Facebook, Instagram etc. and maybe advertising on google or YouTube instead. (even if that's only a short term scenario).
They also haven't accelerated past their one year high as some have for little reason

They've been around a few years and will sell about 40,000 cars this year. Not at Tesla's level yet but in China where the wealthy middle class population is forecast for strong growth they should be able to exploit this.
They burn a fair bit of cash but have strong backing and in Asia at least they should be a fairly big player.

Picked up a little Cemi earlier at 3.27

Seemed a reasonable enough punt looking at 52 week low, I.e. pre COVID level.

Took a huge plummet over past couple of weeks after FDA removed their temporary approval, but felt that might be more a knee jerk reaction of short term investors and that this might recover enough turn a profit.

This one is moving this morning, up 17% a the moment. Might keep rising (hopefully)

Another way to look at it is that Google could be next on the list, as the lobbying groups which are currently trying to pressure personal content publishers (using advertisers as a proxy) won't make an exception for Google.

At the end of the day I think this will likely go away, but I would be cautious seeing it as tailwind for Google because they haven't been affected yet (Youtube is a prime target for these lobbying groups).

In the space of large tech stocks, IMO the likes of Microsoft and Apple (and to some extend Amazon) are the most insulated ones as they don't operate any massive personal content publishing platform.

ATHs all over the place again, is anyone still expecting a crash?

peterofthebr

..again..jobs numbers are somewhat bogus - you could be in 3 parttime jobs but you added 3 new jobs to the economy!. I dont see a crash myself (not with the FED ready to step in) except maybe in Nov? but their could be another 'corrrection' prob not as good as March. Covid cases are still going up so what will happen to small businesses if certain areas need to close doors again. all this covid is bad news for Trumps election if he was to loose in Nov i think the market might crash overnight. But as USA Market is so important to the usa national interests it will be protected from a full crash...
personally im a long term investor and still happy to sit on the sidelines for a bit more. i have gold so putting some money to work.

No. Back DCI'ing into S&P.

Shedite27

5th test of 3150 level of S&P in 3 weeks, it's gonna break through eventually. Any "crash" in the past few months has been bought up the next day. Can't see any news at this stage that's gonna take it down anytime soon

CEMI kinda soaring now, up almost 30%, still more than half the day to go. Sentiment seems to be that the News they will release on Monday evening should be good (else they wouldn’t have announced that they would be making an announcement lol). Anyone else in on CEMI with some opinions?

Because the market heard that I sold out on Monday at $2.50 , hence a rise to $3.50 on the following days was inevitable :-(
