I have fairly large positions in all 5 of the US-listed energy trusts. I was interested in some of the Toronto-only trusts so I ask Waterhouse what I have to do to buy them. They just sent me an e-mail that I would have to transfer my account to their Canadian Trading Services Department which would take 2 to 4 business days. This is a rollover IRA so that is impossible. They also said that I would not be able to trade on-line and would have to contact a rep and that the commissions would be 2-3 times what I currently pay.

I thought this was absolutely pathetic coming from a Toronto-based broker. It would appear that I am limited to the US-listed trusts unless someone has a better idea.
