In E083, Jacob Campagnaro and David Hulshof join us for a discussion on the current capital gains situation. Many think it's a done deal, but we're not so sure.

David mentioned an article indicating that these changes haven't been finalized yet. As of April, it still needs to pass through both the House and Senate. If anyone has more information, please share in the comments.

There's confusion around Trudeau's budget proposal and circulating videos. Despite the uncertainty, people are making significant decisions based on the assumption that the changes are imminent. Some are even willing to take losses to sell quickly, fearing increased taxes.

It's crucial to stay informed and avoid acting impulsively. Consult with your accountants and legal advisors before making any hasty decisions. While there's always a risk with investments, base your actions on solid information and strategy.

In summary, while the capital gains situation is still uncertain, it's causing significant market activity. Stay informed, consult experts, and make strategic decisions based on accurate information.
