RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Paid "TODAY" JAN 6th :>))Going well, Happy New Year.
I like RBC for all the same reasons you do. I only keep a cash account at TD, the rest are at RBC.The TD has some cash, some stocks but I can also trade on margin and cover from RBC if RBC is down, which as you say, outside of real short blips, they haven't been for a long time.. Outside of the stocks that are in the one TD account, and manging them and their dividends, I mostly use the RBC accounts for all my other stuff and that is where I too keep my range of accounts TFSA/RRSP/various Cash accounts etc. RBC also works better for multiple accounts where you have trading authority. TD's system for that is not very good.

Hiw she go? What's new these days?
My wife & I have everything with RBC DI. They've been much better lately on the outage front I haven't noticed anything since the major fiasco last Jan.
I really do find it convenient to have everything with one broker especially when I'm doing some juggling amongst any of our 6 accounts (RRSP/RRIF, TFSAs, non-reg).
How do do you organize the investments between the 2 brokers? Has it caused any problems with wanting to juggle?
I've kind of been up & down about how I think about RBC DI in general but I've been in an up mood for the last 8-10 months. I really don't like their watchlist but I do like theit trading Dashboard. I now actually use Morningstar for the wathclist stuff as I don't need real time quotes from it.
I also really like the RBC DI activity quesries and being able to export the result sot Excel (ie: getting a sum of all dividends over the last year. tracking buy & sells, etc).
I also like the extra benefits of the Royal Circle and the fee structure in general.
Take her easy
