daI just found this tax-rate calculator, which does a splendid job of answering my question of how much taxes are charged on capital gains. Canuckistan-only.
...and for those of you in the US, this was entertaining: when you need something to arrive really ASAP? Answer: UPS SonicAir. The claim is same-day guaranteed delivery, complete with quotes and various options depending on how you want it sent. I had fun pricing a package from, say, my parents in Upstate NY to my uncle's on Long Island (about $500; 10 hours guaranteed). My parents to Ithaca: they apparently put it in a truck and drive, 5 hours door-to-door, $425 or so. Ithaca to San Francisco today? $400, 19 hours. Not bad.
