Conversion Between US$/CDN$ Accounts Not sure about the other brokers, but with Greenline, if you are moving money from the US > CDN account or vice-versa and the amount is reasonably large ($25k I think is the minimum - not sure if that is CDN$ or US$) ask them to call down to the currency desk and get a better rate. It will save you quite a few bucks. If you don't ask, you don't get. :-)) John

I went thru the same experience trading US stocks. I stick to Canadian--What I had to realize was the average American trades very low volumes--The stock trading volumes are high cause there are so many traders. Thus I'v come to the conclusion--make the money in Canada but buy and sell higher volumes--Thats Why the smart guys stick to momentum trading.--It really is the only game in town. Just wish I new the shorting end of this game--I only play the long. Just my two cents--I still dislike our market but have to live with it. What we need is to loosen up the trading rules and make the big players more accountable with information releases on what they are up to--There is just too much hidden from Canadian investors. That what really ticks people off-.
