I'm in the process of opening an account with Interactivebrokers who have just moved into Canada, for US securities it will reduce costs substantially as I find the $29 to add up for frequent traders (I trade approx 2x per week), this is one secret of investing reduce your costs. My comments on dividend stripping, would have to do with the frequency, once every 3 months is too infrequent in my mind to be worthwhile, I would rather follow spin offs, and trust conversions (E.G. POU and KCH) or even the upcoming change in the TSX index. Here I believe there are real opportunities either from value being released or new market forces coming into play. On spin offs there are a number of books covering the subject (my favorite by Greenblatt titled something like "how to make a million in the market even if you're not that smart")
