Jim, There are tax implications in the sense of foreign content. A stock trading on a US exchange only I believe would be deemed to be a foreign stock and subject to the 20% foreign content ruling. If your concerned about this and want to hold the XVN to DVDT shares long term - I would consider trading out the shares now (swap the shares out at the $.05 and trade in the equivelant cash). I understand that can be done without counting as using up your RSP contribution eligibility; but, I've never done this before. I recommend asking your broker or a broker affiliated with your own bank. Your branch probably won't know this. Incidentally, has this write up by an analyst been posted here for DVDT? It projects $6 in one year and $20 in two. siliconinvestor.com If DVDT at $6 US traded for whatever multiple we get presents a 20% limit problem, I would transfer them out at this cheap valuation. Taking out the cash from RSP has a very different tax treatment from capital gains tax outside of your rsp.
