Tax-Loss Selling Targets: A Look at Some Table-Pounding Buys

 


With the end of the year nearing, many investors are looking for ways to minimize their tax bill by applying tax-loss harvesting, the technique of selling investments that have lost value in order to offset capital gains and lower an investor’s tax burden. 

Tax-loss harvesting can help investors reduce their taxable income, diversify their portfolio, and take advantage of market fluctuations.

Ltd., TC Energy Corp., and Toronto-Dominion Bank are three companies that have suffered lower share prices due to tax-loss selling and represent compelling buying opportunities.
