The idea is that you have now disposed of your shares & hence can include it on your tax return.
eg. this FY you made $50k on BHP & lost $30k on TMR (both held less than one year) = $20k gain
whereas if you hold onto the shares you will have to pay 50k CGT
OK I see. Thanks for clarification jet. So sell and claim capital loss. I'll give my accountant a call!
No possible chance of TMR recovering?
