Dan Walkow - Florida and California - Moving Back to Canada

 Dan has just returned from Investment seminars in Florida which included addresses by both George W Bush and Bill Clinton.

In this show he talks with David and Richard about the US and Canadian economic scenes as well as specifics about cross-border investment in this climate and in general.
Dan's company, Seabank Capital Management Inc., is licensed to deal in both Canada and the US, and can deal with almost any contingency arising from the fact that people find themselves out of their traditional investment company's physical jurisdiction. People find themselves being told they have to liquidate their portfolios (falsely) because once they move away from the broker's location the broker no longer can deal with them - and self-servingly wants to get the trailing/sales commission. This liquidation causes all manner of tax headaches - headaches that need not happen if the investments are simply moved to Seabank. 
In addition, Seabank has dual-currency accounts which eliminate the currency conversions often forced upon people by their brokers when purchasing products from across the US/Canada border. 
We're sure that if you are thinking of moving across the US/Canada border, or have already done so and still have investments on the other side, or even if you have simply moved from one province or state to another - that you'll benefit from talking to Dan. 

Dan Walkow - Currency Trading and Cross-border Investments

Dan and David Ingram discuss Seabank Capital's accounts and the fact they can contain products in both US and Canadian dollars saving the discount fees normally charged by other firms when you sell or buy US investments (as a Canadian) or Canadian investments in the US. The savings can be dramatic.

During the show David answers a question from a Canadian interested in purchasing real estate as an investment from the California market. The answer to this question provides an insight into what is currently happening in the US real estate market today and alludes to a coming crisis in the near future as a new series of mortgages come due for rate increases.

Brian Elgood - (almost) Painless Charitable Donations

Brian Elgood is new man on the block at Seabank Capital but he has extensive background in tonight's topic - charitable foundations and the various ways that individuals can make donations to them in the most beneficial ways.

David and Brian discuss the potential for giving charitable foundations stock that would otherwise require capital gains tax be paid. Doing the giving this way, rather than liquidating the stock and giving the proceeds, increases the benefit to the charity and may in fact lower the donor's tax burden more than the typical write-off would. Richard Moore, David's earlier guest this evening, has used this technique and explains how and why he used it.
