I am fairly certain you don't have to worry about the 20% rule in your case. I believe the rule is at the time of purchase. So if your RRSP goes offside because of an appreciation of a non-Canadian stock in it, you would not be able to add any more non-Canadian content until the overall portfolio is again less than 20%. However, you would not be forced to sell to bring it back into line. Check with your accountant to be certain.

When a US Company takes over a Canadian company that has a significant # of CDN sharholders. The company will created an CDN equivalent of the US stock but maybe subjected to a certain time limit like 5 years. ie Symantec buys Delrina creates DE,tse time limit Bowater Buys Avenor created Bowater Canada. cl >>> My big fear is that someday Ballard will be taken over by a foreign company and I'll be forced to sell my shares to meet the 20% foreign content rule. I'll have to remember to ask my accountant bout that.<<<
