I will contact my bank tomorrow to see what they have come up with. I sure hope that putting in equities will be allowed. However, I suspect that, just as in your case, they won't have any answers readily available.I'll report back soon.

I agree with your sentiment about the current political and economic mess. It seems we (the average Canadians) have been dumped on from all sides. Let's hope we can rescue something from our diminished investments in the coming year. I think the outlook for MTO is quite good, particularly if they find good reserves at Barry, Nelligan and Hewfran.
