Q: Hi there, in your opinion is the rally we are having in the markets sustainable or is it a dead cat bounce? I've read that in many cases, there is usually a double bottom, before the rally usually beings again (assuming a rally will occur). What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Q: David Rosenberg today indicated that the recent rally in the TSX is very similar to the December rally of 1931 and further said that this is not an investors' rally but a trader's rally. Is the current rally a sucker's rally?
I will greatly appreciate your comments.
Thanks
Terry

Q: We often hear about the advantage of keeping U.S. dollar denominated securities in an RRSP to avoid the 15% withholding tax. We need to look at the formula used on tax software to verify how much of the withholding tax that is refunded if in a non registered account. I just reviewed my tax return for last year and got all my 15% withholding tax refunded.
