Hi Ogi: What is it about Scotia you have trouble with or don't like? In order: 1. Very high commissions for stock below $3.00 and for those on TXV. For example my last Entree Gold trade (10,000 shares) was CAD$ 200.00. These commissions make you think twice before stepping in and out of a stock. 2. Their Quote/Research function has become terribly slow. 3. Often the full quote function does not work at all. The only way you can make it work is if you click a stock from your portfolio. If you try to get a quote from an order entry it may not work either. 4. For stocks with and H or an U on the symbol you must place your order over the phone. They changed this recently, and I don't like it because commissions are higher this way. Hope this helps Anna
