Tax on a stock sale is 50%.


50%
In Canada, 50% of the value of any capital gains are taxable. Should you sell the investments at a higher price than you paid (realized capital gain) — you'll need to add 50% of the capital gain to your income.

This is why I have always put whatever I had into real estate rather than paper.

Nope. Now you are compounding your bullshit. A share that does not pay a dividend is worthless until you sell it. More probably a net loss since you would have capital tied up in a non performing stock. Do try to gain a little knowledge of a subject before you post.

Yes and no . When one buys an IPO or a junior stock with revenue ,they are looking firstly for profit taking . Core positions are a different kettle of wax .

The short sellers will be having a field day with Tesla for the foreseeable future and considering that Musk has been living off of the investors for as long as he has, he should know that the investor body (especially institutional) are very fickle.
stock is up about $600 since this statement

Institutional investors are piling into this stock. That's all.
