Hi Scott, Yep That's me 'Cute and Cuddly Canadian' maybe time to revisit it to keep warm for the winter ;o) I have BoM (Investorline) and TD-Greenline (Webbroker) Typically I'm very satisfied with Investorline. It's just frustrating that they've had two problems this week and one at a very inopportune time. Compared to TD I prefer them except on three fronts. 1) TD allows me 10 concurrent RT quotes and I find them a split second more up to date than BMO. 2) They offer self directed RESP's (for the kiddies) which is why I have the TD accounts to begin with as I have not seen this offer from other banks. BMO just offers you 4 canned plans... yech and they don't come close to my returns despite my frequent goofs. 3) they have good access to 'New Issues' on line. Everything else functionally I prefer at BMO as well as the fact they are constantly upgrading (usually without glitch I agree with you on YAHOO. For the price the service is top notch although I'll typically double check. They are weak in the trust area. I use it all the time though for quick PF views and watchlists. I'm not thrilled with the recent change to the default view though. They seem to have removed some of the better customizable features when viewing a single stock. I had different views set up for different tasks, one for trusts yield ex-div etc... but of course on a junior gold this is not required... Basically on finance.yahoo.com they have removed the drop down box which allowed you to select your view and replaced it with one canned view not appropriate for everything. I fear the ca.finance.yahoo.com site will soon follow... Not a good thing.. Here's an interesting thought investorshub.com I'd really like depth but since I don't trade daily I'm having trouble justifying it... regards Kastel a Cute and Cuddly Canadian
