Does it make sense to sell holdings of a higher price, and then buying it back at the lower price?

Hi Anon, it would only make sense to realise your loss if:

1) you expect the ETF to go down further, so you are cutting your loss;

2) you need the cash to invest in other counters which you think are going to give you better returns

Selling and immediately buying at the same price in the same counter does not really make sense as you will be incurring fees on top of the loss you realised.

Hope this helps!

Hi anon,

I don't quite understand your question...If you are already in the red, selling will realize your losses. If you sell your units you will end up with about $3700 and then buying back will just cost $3700 again, with brokerage.​​​
