Actually I have been trading in Canadian junior mining stocks for 14 years now. But I had kind of decided a year ago or so to cease doing it for various reasons. Firstly the high commissions. Secondly no online trading. Thirdly at tax time I have the big hassle of converting my buy/sell prices for every transaction from Canadian to U.S. dollars. And the straw that broke the Camel's back was when my Cannacord broker of many years (via their C.M. Oliver purchase) was forcibly replaced with some unknown broker because the latter had a California broker's license. But the low prices may possibly lure me back to the Canadian juniors if I can find risk/reward bargains so attractive that it outways these negatives.
