Are you serious...people make investment strategies based on tax treatment, if they didn't nobody would care if negative gearing was scrapped!
You can negative gear stocks but I think this shouldn't be allowed...we have warrants and options....negative gearing should only be for people or companies who provide something new, not for speculation/investing which is essentially in the share/property market.
Negative gearing for farmers/miners business etc....now that's a bit more complicated
Your logic would be the equivalent of only allowing tax losses on IPOs and not current listed stocks.
How is this different?
Well that depends on what planet you live in .
IPO's are already companies they are just going public from private, public and private companies all negative gear if they borrow....you are talking apples with oranges here...an ipo is not a new company.
