As to:
Benefit #3, capital losses are tax deductable.

The capital losses are only deductible against a capital gain. It would be great to have a capital gain large enough to counter the loss I would have if I sold MST now. I think they could be written off as a loss if the shares were declared to have no value but that could take a bit of time. A lesson learned from ABC Child Care.

Too bad there isn't a "Sentiment" choice that says "Buy if you are a gambler and can afford a loss".
