So I check my account and there is no DMW in it. So I check my old trades- no DMW there either. Now I am looking at my cash position trying to figure out if it balances or not. The only thing I have learned from this is a person needs to have a printout of their account every day. Sure I get a print out once a month . But without an accurate paper trail it would take a lot of ferenzic work to prove that i had been ripped off. I have heard of this sort of thing happening before. 50,000 vapourizing from an account and the brokerage denying that the cash was ever there. The discount brokerage for a bank screwing up a trade and then freezing a persons BANK accounts...even though it was the brokerage that screwed up. This caused morgage payments and all sorts of other stuff not to get paid . I think I am ok but I am not impressed. Twice this month my brokerage CIBC has charged me full service charges for trades I should have recieved a lower rate on. You guys take care ralfph
