Capital losses are relevant because you were talking about tax implications of the stock going down, not about it going up.
You were the one who talked about the benefit of putting the money in an RSP and getting the tax break. I didn't suggest it, I was just debating the tax implications in a scenario you suggested.
Either you really don't understand what you are talking about, or you are intentionally making the debate illogical. Either way this has probably run its course.
