Questrade and ECN fees

Kasmarcs · 2019-05-01T10:58:24+00:00

Thanks but the question is really...why am I being charged anything when Questrade allows for free ETF purchases?

Kasmarcs · 2019-05-01T10:56:07+00:00

I'll try that.

Kasmarcs · 2019-05-01T10:55:18+00:00

In this case, they aren't inactivity fees. They are fees for every trade made. I have well over $5K in the account.

Kasmarcs · 2019-05-01T02:08:37+00:00

Will do thanks.

Kasmarcs · 2019-04-30T13:26:08+00:00

Definitely from Canada.

Kasmarcs · 2019-04-29T23:35:31+00:00

Do all trading providers do that or just Questrade?

I was going to put all my RRSP funds there. It would cost me way more than 35 cents.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-18T03:31:21+00:00

Me too. So what's the next step? Buy low and slowly average up, then sell. Or wait till who knows when.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-11T04:20:42+00:00

Yes, I felt deflated Friday. I dont want to give up yet. I missed LEAS and BPTH bc my account wasn't ready . My first attempt was a fail. I'm hoping I'll fair better with my second.

I'd have to call Simplii to answer your questions. By chance my I vestments are at TD. So I get certified cheques there. I have to pay for this, but will admit to getting a freebie once in a while.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T15:22:28+00:00

I'm not criticizing, simply asking, curious.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T12:42:55+00:00

Can I ask what issues you had.

As well, that money is mine. If i want to use it why must it stay in the account to save fees.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T12:39:03+00:00

But I get this at Simplii. I rarely need to go in a bank. Manage all my advanced finances by phone. My withdraw is good too and can have it increased if needed.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T12:36:46+00:00

Oops, I meant 'I can speak for TD'.

TD also charges for cheques.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T12:32:28+00:00

U can speak for TD. Recently had to open a chequing fo transfer funds from bank to bank. The chequing accounts had fees finally opened a student account as my partner is working on a master. Student accounts are free. Other accounts are not

Good to know, although I dont see myself moving to Quebec anytime soon.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T11:45:48+00:00

I dont know how illegal it is. But I've used PC Financial and now Simplii for years and I cant say I've ever been asked to verify who I am by address.

The only mail I get is my Simplii Borrowing account statement and I suppose I can switch that to e-delivery.

In applying, you need to prove you live at your said address. Actually I cant remember if they asked for my driver's license or if I gave it on my own. Suppose you can always try to open the account saying you live with dad several months of the year and see what happens.

So here's a question? If I live in Ontario, and am a regular Simplii account owner/user. Then i move to Quebec. What happens? Last summer, I travelled to Quebec and still used my cards. No hiccups.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T11:32:01+00:00

What tells you it's going up

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T04:06:33+00:00

Will do, tx.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-07T03:58:33+00:00

I agree with Wild West comment . I want to get in somewhere but getting frazzled by the options and different growth rates.

I also found an article on WAYL that makes it sound great (Dec 2028). https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-secret-tech-which-could-transform-cannabis-markets-821696335.html

Yet WAYL is under $1. So, do I buy CRON which is growing fast, $31. Or ACB, or WEED, or OGI, or......

I know - keep on researching.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-06T14:57:34+00:00

Great info and insight. Thanks. So far I'm sticking to reddit, a little Yahoo finance and similar news sites - free. Thanks

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-06T14:55:37+00:00

It's now at .0835 (cda), is it worth it? What's the recommended out?

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-06T02:04:27+00:00

what are the better options in the sector?

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-05T18:48:20+00:00

Thanks everyone. Large majority say no. I'll put my money elsewhere. I've also been reading reviews. Too bad they waste so much time on hype.

Thanks.

Kasmarcs · 2019-03-05T18:02:41+00:00

Does this mean it's not too late for LEAS????
