Thanks for this - I have never seen this before and glad that I have. If you read the document's page 7 section 11, they really are keeping quite a wide net to lock someone down. From "time spent – a substantial part of the taxpayer's time is spent studying the securities markets and investigating potential purchases," to "speculative" investing.

I don't like to trade too much in the non-reg account as I have to spend time in preparing the report plus I figure they will raise an eyebrow to the number of trades - but someone here confirmed that the number of trades I am making is puny compared to what would possibly flagged.

Overall my philosophy has changed over the years .. a non-reg account should have LT investments that may pay a dividend. With that you get the DIV credit plus pay on 1/2 the money (cap gains). Where as in your registered accounts - trade trade trade like it's 1999. Some of the energy trusts that paid INTEREST should have been held outside the RSP.

(I am strictly speaking of someone who has a balanced portfolio that includes TFSA; RRSP and NON-REG accounts - some places are better for certain kinds of stocks)
