The Canadian dollar will continue rising. This will hurt the BC economy even more.

how does exchanging cash work for income taxes? IE if I go buy 10k in US when it's at par and sell it back to the bank later at 85-90 cents. are they going to track this and issue me a T5 or something?
they obviousy don't care about a few hundred when I do that for vacation ect. but there must be an amount they start looking at??.

That's better than holding American cash for who knows how long right?

ING is currently paying 1.05% per year on their ISAs, it is paid monthly put that only equals 0.0875% per month. If you take a few thousand and buy USD at par or even at todays rate of 1.05 and sit on it, lets say 6 months from now the exchange rate jumps back up to 1.15, thats a 10% profit, $100 profit per $1000 "invested". Now that is worth it to me.

If you have a hookup through a bank then you can get a bit lower rate than these guys... but if not nobody beats VBCE... http://vbce.ca/ | |
