Politics matter far less than long term trends.

Trying to get my head around the revenue guide as to allocated losses and gains

From Revenue Web site

“ Shares sold within four weeks of acquisition

Shares bought and sold within a four-week period cannot be offset against other gains.

You can only deduct the loss from a gain made on a subsequent disposal of same-class shares acquired within the four weeks "

Now here's my predicament I purchased shares 10 days ago held them for 7 days and sold with a gain of €900
On Monday bought shares in the same company and today I'm looking at a loss of €900 approx
Question is what is my CGT liability if i sell?

They're two different transactions….

"I purchased shares 10 days ago held them for 7 days and sold with a gain of €900"

• That €900 gain is liable to CGT (so if that's your only gain you're under your annual €1270 allowance, if you're over that, you pay 33% of the €900 - ie €300 to taxman

On Monday bought shares in the same company and today I'm looking at a loss of €900 approx

• Sell them now, you can't use that loss to balance off. Hold them for another 3 weeks, if you sell them for €900 loss then, at that point you can write it off against the first transaction.

Bascially they don't want you trading.

So Trump is in. He said (I believe) the stock market will be his baramoter for the economy. He alao said he will drill more. Elon is close by so, guess anything Elon owners will benifet. What sectors or even companies are you looking at that might benifit?

I think oil will go down(oil stocks). UK is in bits so ftse will probably underperform

I've a few stock, sitting on allot of cash just like Buffet🤔

As a lazy (buy something) thinking of Glen, BHP,, maybe Ryanair, if prices look attractive

My last buy was intl about a week after their bad earlings. And buying Snap about the same time. I just think usa is overpriced atm.

I missed that in 2020, one to investigate again thanks

Crypo is good if your already in. And you don't own/want to sell market moving trades. Personally I got out about 2,yrs ago.. Trump I believe will be positive for some crypto

Well done, what a great shout. Massive returns!

I'm tempted to cash out my portfolio at the moment, it feels like there might be a pullback from the big gains of the past couple of weeks once the markets calm down. But who knows, Berkshire at least seem to hugely increasing their cash float.

Yep, kept most of my portfolio in stocks and funds and they are all humming along nicely. (Somewhat strangely Energy and Irish banks are black spots, but that was possibly down to my timing of the buys).

A few doomsayers on here moving their full portfolio to cash, must be kicking themselves at the growth they have missed out on.

Kinda looking at BHP.L again, below £20.00 I feel will pay for itself…

Great jump in SHOP, been a long time coming and in finally way back in the green with them.

Don't know if there are any CNBC fans here but two that have mentioned alot recently are Reddit and Leidos. I am also keeping an eye on Grab and Peleton.

Any opinions on these??
