Thanks for the replies re: Canadian trading. The acid test for me, when using a US broker for a Canadian trade, is the following. Let's say you put in a "Buy" order that, once translated into Canadian dollars, would equal or exceed the present highest bid that is showing up on the TSX order book. After you have placed that order, does your bid show up in the TSX order book?

What I like about the TSX vs. the OTCQX is that its an auction exchange and any slob like me can put in an order and if it meets or beats the present bid/ask its put up on the board. There are no market makers to play games.

Also, regarding Fidelity, I believe their minimum commission for any non-US stock is $50, which is a bit rich for my taste.
