Speculative Shares are shares that involve a very large risk to invest in. They are generally exploration companies - EG: Searching for minerals, or medical cures. There is a large risk in inverstment but if the company is successful (IE: They find minerals) - the reward will be large. This is the general relationship in economics - the greater the risk, the greater the result. However, if the company is not successful (IE: They don't find minerals) then the investor will be left with a massive loss.

Day traders who didn't lose money on their trades are taxed at normal income tax rates, or the same rate that a short-term capital gain would be taxed.

This rule means that a trader must delay their tax loss on a losing trade if they bought the same stock again within 30 days of the sale.
