Hi!
I live in Canada and am catching up on my taxes.
While I was a student I was day trading through a discount brokerage.
Upon my request for a summary of Capital Gains/Losses, the discount brokerage I use told me that this is something I have to do on my own.

I'm in a really weird housing market (Baton Rouge, LA). Should I get out and rent for awhile until it calms down? Any ideas about weighing capital gains tax vs. possible profit I might lose if prices nosedive before my 2 years are up?

CapitalgainsFilter: I bought a new house and my old house is set to go on the market on Monday. I'm just two months shy of the 2 years minimum residence requirement for avoiding capital gains taxes, and will make sure the old house isn't sold before that cut-off date. But do I really have to sleep in the old house all the way up to the end date?
