i read somewhere if the cra finds out you are living off your tfsa, they will take action. i might be wrong because it states nothing like that on their website.

If you are saying you wouldn't be able to build another Silver Wheaton. If we go in now, wouldn't we be buying into a speculative silver related stock?
Damn, Citi got pounded the last two days. 4.93 to 4.59.

CRA won't care if you live off your TFSA. They only care if you contribute over the maximum amount. Then they will penalize you.

I didn't look at the financials, technical reports or anything tangible that you would analyze. I bought it because Frank Giustra and Aquilini (owner of the canucks) were involved with it. These guys don't sit on many boards anymore so when they do, you'll guaranteed a sure thing.

| I'm not saying to buy Silver Wheaton, look at its chart for the past year. They've done numerous things since then so they're stock price will keep increasing so long as silver prices remain at current levels. There are other companies out there that mimic their business model and one should look into it. The investment is relatively safe, you're not running/operating (therefore you have no exposure to labour strikes, robberies or expropriation) the mine as you only provide capital to put the mine into development and you are repaid with actual production which you can hoard or resell on the spot market. In essence, you're the money man and we all know this is a very highly coveted position. Even the contracts they sign with you take the risk out of things.

does anyone here write covered calls?
if so, what is your strategy..
I sold some covered LVS and SVM calls...they seem to be overpriced and IMO I don't think they'll hit the strike prices..
IF the calls are in the money, will my broker automatically take the shares from my account?
TIA

Just opened a direct investing account with RBC must say I like it a lot more than td waterhouse, much more interactive and up to date. Faster interface too.
Is there anyway I can just move my holdings from TD over? probably not I guess :/

blkgsr - stock dropped today. lol are you gonna buy in?
Yeah - target price at least $4. With the amount of resources in the land. If Teck doesn't want it, somebody will. It's not just copper and gold, they have molybdenum too.

suzuka84 - What do you think of Skyline Gold (SK)? It is located in the Golden Triangle area so it should benefit from the NTL.
