do you recommend questrade over I Trade?
ReplyDeleteNot really. Personal experience with both of them very good...
ReplyDeleteQuestrade is a little cheaper with a basic cost of 4.95$/trade.
This is especially true since iTrade was acquired by Scotia and they revised their prices a bit. With iTrade, 50K$ is now necessary to get a more competitive basic price of 9.99$/trade. 9.99$ or 4.95$ pretty much the same for investors like me who are not frequent traders.
Maybe the institution behind iTrade (Scotia) is a little more solid than Questrade but I have no fear investing my money thru Questrade either.
Thanks for the question and hope my answer helped!
It did quite a bit thanks! Although I would lone to email you privately about your American dividend stocks. Would this be possible? Totally understand if you don't do that.
