Q: A recent answer pointed out that tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely. If tax losses are carried forward from a previous year, they do not reduce income until after the OAP clawback has been calculated. If you have stocks that have become worthless, don't write them off until you have some capital gains to offset them, in the same year.

Q: Hello, if I understand the offer Silver Standard made for CRJ equated to $1.65 per share. A 12% premium to today's closing price. Why wouldn't I buy and make an easy 12%?

Good Morning Peter
I have a large position in ALGOMA CENTRAL CORP CONV UNSEC SUBORD DEBS 03/31/18 6.00%. When these mature in 2018 am I guaranteed to get paid back in cash or is there any danger of being paid in shares at the conversion rate because if so and if the share price is away down in 2018 I would be better off selling the debentures now as they are trading at par.
Thank you.... Paul K

Q: I know this is outside your area of concentration, but I'd like an opinion on the Canadian dollar vs. the U.S. I put about 25%of my net worth in U.S. dollars in the high 90s. Recently I see an uptrend against the U.S. dollar and am considering repatriating that money. Do you agree with my reading of the situation and that it could be sustained for six months or more. Do you have a guess at where the Can. dollar would have to get to be "over-priced".

Q: It has mentioned several times that deposits at many Canadian financial institutions are insured through CIDC up to $100,000. I don't remember any mention that all deposits in any Manitoba credit union or caisse populaire are guaranteed, without limit by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba.There are several credit unions in Manitoba that offer online banking across provincial boundaries and higher interest rate than the banks. Implicity financial is one example that offers 1.75% interest on deposits and the unlimited guarantee.
