Excellent point...forgot to mention it...the rule is 31 days in Canada...so make sure you sell by Nov 27 (remember 3 day settlement) then repurchase Dec 28 (3day settlement works to your advantage here)

I, too, am fed up to the teeth with Investors Edge...For three long long hours this morning, I couldn't even place an order online..Their system was temporarily down, temporary!!! three hours. They cost me money and I'm paying them for that...

It's so damn stupid, even when I place an order, I can only change or cancel buy orders, I have to phone them to change or cancel a sell order..Why am I putting up with this, I'm trying to trade online with one hand (figuratively speaking) tied behind my back..And guess who tied it, yip, thats right the very same people I pay commissions to every day. And the phone is not much better, by the time I get though the automated system and reach a trader, I'm out of the game..kaput, nada, zilch...

I have already contacted ETrade, I don't intend to put up with this s--t anymore.

I feel much better now..thanks..
