Hi there, BOW2U... Have you figured out which end of your stick the puck is on...

I think that if you had a capital gain from say in our case SLI, then whenever you decide to take that gain as a profit and not re-invested it into something else that would be considered an eligible investment, then you get hit with declaring it as other income and paying the full tax on it...

Lets say I keeping buying and selling stocks over the rest of my lifetime. When I die, I am up say 1 million bucks, based on the new critera. When my estate fills out my last Income Tax form, my total gain of 1 million bucks is recorded as income for that year and taxes will be paid based on that amount. At the end of the day, there really is not a tax exemption involved, just a delay of taxes owing. Just my opinion...
