Canadian Capitalist

I get a fair amount of search hits from Google and sometimes I wonder why Google them my way. Here are some recent search hits that I am fairly sure did not get much help on this website:

1. Canadian Tax on Bonuses: A bonus is taxed exactly like your regular salary.
2. Dividends vs. bank interest Canadian Tax: Dividends are taxed more favourably than interest income. Click on your province of residence here to find out your marginal tax rate for income and dividends.
3. Currency neutral equity funds primer: Currency neutral funds tend to hedge the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Of course, this hedge has a cost and it comes out of your pocket.
4. Very best Canadian equity stocks to buy: Please don’t pick up stock tips from any website. If you must pick equities, be prepared to do your own research.
5. How much money can Canadian premium bonds make you: Not much and you can find the rates on the Canadian Savings Bond website.
6. What does a Canadian 20 dollar bill look like: You can find it on the Bank of Canada website.
7. Canadian RRSP US Equities: You can buy US equities in a self-directed RRSP. There are currently no foreign content restrictions.
8. Difference between iShares EFA and XIN: XIN tracks the returns of the EFA in Canadian dollars and charges a 0.15% fee hedging the currency exposure.
9. Where will the Canadian Dollar go in 2007: 82 cents US. Seriously, I have no idea and remember that all predictions are guesswork.
10. Opinion how to make a 1,000,000 in the stock market automatically: Earn money, spend less than you earn, invest the difference for the long-term, sit back and relax. It’s that simple really.
