Introduction Compact

This thread serves as a gripe forum for Canadian markets.

I had thought of naming this thread,
"Pissing and moaning with the Canadians, not necessarily in real-time, half-hour later in Newfoundland.... Eh."
but I figured simple is best so here it is.... Complaining "Canadian" (a Canadian gripe forum).

Wanna bitch about the "Know Your Client" rule?

TSE computers crashed AGAIN?

Index weightings all thrown outta whack because of BCE and NT?

Do you have a complaint about the pathetic Canadian brokerages?
Crappy executions, retail slippage, "On-Line Brokers" that cause you to be more "Broker", more often than they are "On-Line"?
One complaint per customer please, take a number or wait in the on-line queue....

Bought a stock that was supposed to be an X-bagger but instead you got left holding the bag?

Are your warrants now worth less than the commission you paid to buy them?

Did your shell / penny stock company just announce a reverse-split?

Hopefully we can all learn by sharing our experiences here....

Pi$$ing and moaning, bitching and complaining.... This is where YOU get to be the star!
