Keith, do you mind me asking what brokerage firm you use? I've noticed Essam has used Schwab (or Priority) and I'm wondering if you do too. He's the only one I've heard comment about them. I'm switching some of my stuff to Scotia but I'd still like to have two discount online brokers in case one of them goes down (and hopefully only one of them - today I had one Canadian and one American brokerage go down at the same time. That left ETrade, which I definitely didn't want to use). TIA, Regards, t.
