Im not anti republican. In fact i agree with most of the business side issues that republicans support. But I disagree with alot of bush's foreign policies and constitutional policies. My thing is that i want to challenge republicans who are sitting on the sidelines and who dont want to...

thanks lescor

When I talk to old investors they like to think that big brokers like Goldman Saks, citibank, merril lynch, and even morgan stanley are just to big collaspe. Even in a case of a rouge trader. The government will always bail them out or the FOMC. Is that true. And if something bad happens like...

do all the republicans agree that Bush made a huge mistake. His unilateral decision to allow this, based on money, and not security .

Elite trader republicans explain why are you even bothering fighting the war on terror when you guys give the keys and control to your ports to terriost supporting countries. Why bother? Why bother tapping phones illegally without warrants? All they have todo is go throught their ports that...

I was just wondering are there any canadian swifters with some hard feelings against swift. Any victorian swifters with any funny stories about the swift office there.

I know its really tricky. thats why I try to keep seperate accounts. I was told that short sales were considered the same as trading long in canada, along with with options trading. And futures trading isnt a problem since most are considered capital gains. It just depended on the frequency...

I was wondering how some of you guys walk around this mess which are canadian taxes on equities? Do most of you guys just bypass it all and consider it as business income or did some of you guys just fought it and consider most of equitie trades as capital gains?

the markets are closing early on friday right?

Do you think we will have a late opening of the markets tommorow, or business as usual?

Ibj do you still have the minimum of 21 years old to apply for your accounts. I thought after you guys converted to IB canada, you lowered the age to the canadian min of 19 years old for canadian traders.

well at least they are finally getting with the picture. The only thing I like is that they are giving away level II for options, both canadian and american, and Us and canadian equities. I belieave its standard level II not the level I and half that etrade use to give. And free streaming...

lol johnny, have you seen those meth addicts these days. Not a pretty picture.

hes going to have a tough route. I dont know how he's going to make cra determine all of the trades people make as short term or long term capital gains. Canadian income tax law is so obscure. For us they dont determine capital gains as short term or longterm but more on if its an "adventure...

no kidding. When the brokers start fighting in canada, they really go at it. I remember the first down draft, when doing online trades, were almost as expensive as full service brokers. They kept saying the prices were there b/c of regulatory problems in canada. It was complete bulk, but...

actually it was tdwaterhouse that ameritrade....please read press release :D http://www.tdwaterhouse.ca/pdf/ameritrade.pdf

My only complaint about IB, please allow pit access to futures !!! They are the best. I just posted TD's stuff, b/c its nice to finally see some competition happening in the canadian brokerage side. They have been for so long ripping off the average canadian investor. Td for example charges...

lol but they are finally kicking into gear again. Its nice to see some competition. I saw a preview, its comparable to etrade, but it has all routing capabilities. I just want to see how good there smart routing tech. I know td is notorious for routing to their favoured market makers firsts...

Hey if any canadians here are wondering tdwaterhouse is planing to finally undercut the competition and release lower commission rates, and finally add direct access. They are giving away free level II quotes, charts, streaming realtime, news, option strategizer for both canadian and US stocks...

well I would rather have no taxes on capital gains s/l rather then dividends. Dividends are on par far less risky and you get it on regular basis. But with caps, you are taking risk and at points waiting years for appreciation. I think it was a stupid idea for dividends they should have...
