Q: Referring to your rather positive response to Gregory on DND results.

Wondering why you suggested removing it from the portfolio just before earnings when it was down -60% YTD already.

It was a 50/50 chance of being a good report.

Q: Re registered plans, your very useful reply to John on 30/10 was 'With lower rates on capital gains, it is better (for most investors) to have equities outside of a registered plan where withdrawals will be taxed at the highest rate.' 

My question is, can a person transfer equities from a RRIF (or an RRSP) to a non-registered account and replace the withdrawn equity with an equivalent valued security/ies. And if so, is the withdrawl from the RRIF or RRSP considered a deemed disposition and taxable?

Thank you kindly.
