Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to account for losses incurred from buying and selling shares when it's not your primary business activity. The consensus suggests these losses should be treated as capital losses rather than business losses. Therefore, they should be adjusted within capital gains and reflected in your IT computation, not transferred directly to the Profit & Loss account.
