Okay. That wasn’t too bad. The taxes are almost completely done. I just have to Netfile them. I’m going to wait a bit before doing that and just take a look around to see if there are any documents I may have missed. My office is rather messy right now, so it is possible.
I had spent time tracking my investments yesterday and I only needed to check exchange rates and then total the various parts. It revealed something very interesting. I was part of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan in US funds, and I sold the stock last year when it was higher than anytime it had been purchased. At least I thought I had. When the exchange rates came through, I apparently lost money. Not a lot, but I had thought that it would be a big moneymaker. I guess the rising Canadian dollar got me.
Ironically, I’ve kept the proceeds from that in US funds, so in a way I’m still losing money.

Except for when I use it to fund my vacation habit.
