There was an article in the newspaper some time ago about the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra being given shares of Bre-X stock as a donation.  They
were fortunate that they cashed in the stock certificates right before they
became worthless, becoming one of the few 'investors' who actually made
money from Bre-X.

I believe that their policy was not to hold any stocks, which is why they
cashed them in almost immediately.  I would imagine the rationale would be
that a tax receipt would be issued for the value of the stock, and unless
the certificates are cashed in, they're not really worth anything.

We were recently given a restricted endowment in the form of a solid
utility stock.  I'd like to keep it as stock.  Finance Committee wants it
converted.  Can anyone give me a case for keeping the stock and/or a
finance policy that includes stock as one form of asset?
