| Financial Tip of the Month: Which of the many Tax Credits can you take advantage of? Learn about the many that are available: Income Splitting for Families, Sports Tax Credit, Arts Tax Credit all for having children enrolled in these activities. For more, see the article in my new "Well Advised" newsletter. Delivered via e-mail last week, and by mail next week. If you don't receive it, please subscribe by responding with "Send me Well Advised" in the subject line. If you owe taxes, they are due by April 30th, for business or personal. Therefore, ensure you complete the return and make a payment even if its only an installment. Filing late, and owing taxes means that you will be charged interest and a penalty. The same guideline applies if you owe quarterly installments. While the installment amount can be changed if your income is different, paying an installment is recommended. As long as you make installment payments and can justify the amounts, then CRA will only charge interest, and no penalties. We are happy to refer an accountant that meets your needs. Please feel free to Contact Us for more information. |

| Measuring Portfolio Performance
New information about returns will be appearing on statements soon.
We have been provided returns at meetings for many years. However, with the new requirements comes the need for more detailed explanations of how returns can be calculated.
It is important to distinguish the difference between Dollar Weighted Returns and Time Weighted Returns. Please see the new "
Big Picture" update for a detailed explanation.

Did you know that most investors tend to follow headlines? That means that they sell when there is fear in the markets and we see depressed prices. They buy when there is maximum optimism. That means you're paying peak prices. The chart above shows why we need to have a plan, to avoid these extreme situations, and allow ourselves to be invested when the prices are cheap.
