Globe says BMO's InvestorLine under stress Bank of Montreal BMO Shares issued 265,853,572 Apr 14 close $66.35 Thu 15 Apr 99 In the News Also Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) (TD) Also Royal Bank of Canada (RY) The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, April 15, edition that discount brokerage executives say a rash of service complaints from irate clients over the past several days is the result of a huge increase in trading volumes, particularly among Internet-related stocks. The Globe's Richard Blackwell writes that Bank of Montreal's InvestorLine discount broker has had jumps of over 40 per cent in volume over the last 10 days creating "volume challenges." Those "stresses" are infuriating many investors who can't get through by phone, computer or the Internet to make trades. Trading in Internet related stocks, such as Bid.Com International and American Gem, has been intense lately. Royal Bank of Canada's Action Direct plays down recent glitches saying delays tend to happen shortly after market opening "when the whole world wants to come in at the same time." Toronto-Dominion Bank's Green Line Investor Service, which has been criticized a lot lately for delays and outages was performing much better yesterday after a major capacity upgrade on Tuesday night.
