Anyone Who Is Bullish On This Or Other Holdings...
you may wish to consider protecting your shares as much as you can by transferring whatever you can to a maximum of $5500 into your tfsa account. Best to do so when the shares are lower valued as you will be able to put more into your account. You don't need to only put monies in you can also put equity equivalency. I have maxed out my contributions. Total space for anyone who is not up to date is $57,500 it is always best to take as much advantage of the tfsa as you can--it helps a lot!!!
good luck all!

100% correct Italboss! Make sure you don't contribute more than $57,500 that is the limit to date. Any overcontributions as to my understanding is penalized at 1% per month until the amount that is over contributed is cleared out but i am not 100% sure about this one--this is to my understanding as to what I believe to have been told by a TD agent when i called in yesterday. good luck all!

There have now been a few cases where people who have traded too much inside their TFSAs have been taxed on the gains. If you trade too much CRA "MIGHT" audit you and claim you are treating it like a job and they tax it like working income.

Look a it this way , if I use a normal account to buy stocks , I have to declare my profit , this everyone know , but you can also declared lost and save money on taxes . On the other hand , a taxe saving account , you can't declared lost , so they have no right to taxe this account ,since they are not giving any benefit .
