The QUESTRADE RANT 66 shares traded? Try a TSFA with Questrade, then try to get as close as you can to your $5000 yearly limit ( without going over ) on an investment and see what happens.. Questrade has extra ECN fees or some such garbage for most trades ( unless you want UNDER 100 shares of a BLUE CHIP..you are penalized the less the stock is )..so the price is almost never $9.99 as advertised..it happened to me ( sometimes the ECN fees were over $20 bucks in addition to the advertised $9.99 price ) .. doing my wife's TFSA.. the extra charges meant her contribution was a few cents OVER $5,000, and I ended up paying over $300 bucks to CRA as a "fine" for overcontribution.. QUESTRADE will say just " JUST MAKE ONE TRADE " to get under $5000.. but in our case GZD went down 90% last year, and I am F'D if I will sell even one share with the low volume, and the fact I still have in the neighborhood of 700,000 shares ( at 50 cents.. stock is now at 7 cents )..see what I mean? That may be one possible explanation /reason for the 600 share total yesterday... THATS WHY GSR is my last kick at the cat in the V.. as I have lost almost everything on the GZD fiasco ( another story )
Now its 3 months and counting trying to transfer out to TD Waterhouse. AVOID QUESTRADE altogether if you can, or get the heellllll out.. I had lots of problems with my own account there and transferring out ) before this latest fiasco with the wife's TFSA account...
and I am still waiting for a return phone call from QUESTRADE from BEFORE Christmas.. I wouldn't phone me back either the way I (yelled ) spoke to them nice folks with the strong ( entitled and arrogant ) South African English accents..if my wife was dead and I was dying of cancer.. I would go visit Questrade with a gun
