Q: Re James question about splitting income from a LIF...the following is from CRA's website:

What is eligible pension income?
Eligible pension income is generally the total of the following amounts received by the pensioner in the year (these amounts also qualify for the pension income amount):

the taxable part of life annuity payments from a superannuation or pension fund or plan; and
if they are received as a result of the death of a spouse or common-law partner, or if the pensioner is 65 years of age or older at the end of the year:
annuity and registered retirement income fund (including life income fund) payments; and
registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) annuity payments.

Q: I believe that there is a place for physical gold in today's markets. Gold has been a loser for the last couple of years, but I do believe it'll come back at some point.

What is your stance on this? And what are you looking for as an investor to know when the tides have turned and gold is on an uptrend?

Q: Hello 5i
I have a small amount of $6000 left to invest in what I believe to be a balanced portfolio. I am trying to decide between vrx & csu although the higher stock cost vs the small amount of money seems silly. Would you pick either of these for growth or would there be a better choice for this amount of cash.

Thank you as alway
Craig
