Q: Hi folks, I`m a relatively new investor with a portfolio that I consider to be heavily diversified and Dividend Stock oriented. I recently made a contrarian decision and made a speculative play of 5% of my portfolio to Gold ETFs, just BEFORE events in the Crimea became relatively stable. Of course, my positions since then have been beaten down by almost 10%, but my original reason for investing in Gold was for the expected long term return after the last year of brutal decline. Am I being overly optimistic on the upside of gold stocks and am I better off staying on ETFs or should I consider investing in actual miner stocks? Sorry for the long winded question.

Q: Simply a note to Rob's question re LSI's earnings date.

Hopefully the numbers will be out on March 26, 2014.
I was also curious a few weeks back and I wrote to their investor relations group asking them the same question. The following is the answer I got.

"Lonestar changed its yearend to a calendar year at the end of 2013 so the next reported financials will be out sometime in April.

The TSX-V allows for 120 days to report yearend numbers so Lonestar has to have them released by the end of April.

Please see the link below on the filing completed by Lonestar to Sedar dated November 12, 2013 that clarifies deadlines.

Q: Re March 20th question asked by Frank concerning holding US securities in an RRSP or TFSA account, I spoke today with a Canada Revenue Agency official who indicated that foreign property, such as US securities, held in RRSP's and TFSA's are excluded from the requirement to be reported in Form T1135. If you hold foreign stocks in a non-registered account and their total cost amount in 2013 was more than CAN$ 100,000, you required to file the form.
There is a Question and Answer section about Form 1135 on the CRA website. See the answer to question no. 28.
Hope this helps.

Q: 'Playing defence' question of Mar 20/14 asked by yossi:

As noted in the answer this could play out in many ways.
One thing an investor can do is conduct all non-margin activity thru a 'cash' brokerage account so that all securities therein cannot be used in the brokers business. RRSP/TFSA's are already 'cash' accounts.
Secondly, set up your accounts to use a third party trustee.
Most brokerage accounts are 'self-trustee', ie they act as their own trustee. This was the same structure (no comparison intended) used by Madoff, MF Global, and Lehman Brothers to access client funds)

Publish at your discretion.
