Hi Claude,

I have used TDW for some time from the US. I will soon transfer my account from them - only because they have lowered the maximum number of shares per $12 trade from 5,000 to 2,500. That doubles the commission as far as I am concerned.

I was curious to see the other responses regarding TDW. Not entirely accurate (but not their fault). TDW employees do not know for the most part how their own system works. (Imagine that:) If you have the US symbol (usually available from the free section of Etrade) then you can buy or sell all the canadian stocks you want without talking to anyone or paying the higher Greenline commission. However, if you are not placing market buys and sell (major beware) then the order CAN sit forever.

After searching forever, I found ONE competant employee of TDW (and have kept his extension #). I can call him and get the bid/ask and place the trade (just whine about the system not working properly:). It usually executes right away. I have also traded the same way with Etrade. But I have not found a competant employee there yet. :o)

I have not made up my mind where I will transfer my TDW account to (probably Penntrade). It's not an issue until the stocks are worth selling - hopefully sooner, but always seems to be much later (sigh).

Oh well, that makes the issue as clear as mud.

Best wishes and a good week to all!
robert
