Hi MM. I wish!! I have swore off trading the US market. Order placement from Canada on virtually anything "in realtime" is delayed by an internal buearacracy in discount brokerages(DB) here! When an order is placed "electronically, the DB then has a person "look" at your request for trade, he then calls up your account to see if you have the funds in your acct, after doing this he then strobes the order thru assuming everything OK. Average time from start to finish 3-5 minutes! Which in trading time, is akin to 3 years!! I got stung on a NASDAQ order badly last year.
Next year I will start up a new acct with a US DB and have US dollars sitting in the US!!! However, to cheer me up.....last Friday I made enough money on one trade of CIBC to send me south for the winter "in style"....so I'm happy!!

Hope you don't own Livent!!!
