Q: On February the 3rd, I bought SUM as it was trending higher for the past year. Since then, it has been down every day and I finally had gotten out of it once it was down 18%. What would you think causes this to happen? It is not the first time it has happened to me.
Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Re question on life income fund, after you turn 65 in canada all income from lif and rif can be split with your wife.dave

Q: In response to James,
A LIF is essentially a RRIF, so if James is 65 years of age before the end of the year, his RRIF withdrawal in that year would qualify as "eligible pension income" that can be split with his spouse on his tax return
Read Answer Asked by Christopher on February 14, 2014
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?
