OT - RRSP book value adjustment. This is probably only of interest to Canucks. Yesterday I did a "cross trade" in my RRSP to adjust the book value. I have a block of JDU shares purchased as JDS Fitel. Since the book value is so low, the 25% foreign content allowed is minimal. I did a cross trade as follows: My brokerage let me pick any price that occurred during the day, so I picked the high of 128. With internal shares, they did a sell for 128 and then a buy for 128 (no spread) and I was charged a reasonable commission. Now my book value has been adjusted to current prices and I upped my foreign content (QCOM shares).
