RE: Bema to Kinross consolidation?(mmagic)This applies to cash or margin accounts. Won't apply to RRSP accounts. If you didn't elect 85 of ITA it is a deemed disposition and the capital gains will apply to whatever your cost base was including your trading acquisition transaction cost(documents in my office not here can't say what the deemed disposition price was exactly at this time). It was around $7.00 lets say, so the difference between your adjusted cost base for Bema(say you bought 10,000 shares at an adjusted cost base $4.50 including your transaction cost will give you a base of $45,000). You got $70,000 for your shares effective February 29, 2007. This will trigger a taxable capital gain of $25,000 in 2007 unless you did the election. This is standard and has happened before for me on other stocks. Phone Kinross investor relations monday for clarifcation. You should have received the option election instructions from Scotia Direct Investing in good time to reply by the appropriate date. TDW sent me two and I gave them my option 2) instuctions. It still turned out to be a general $uck up as I explained in my previous post. Anyone else have a bad experince on this one? s1
