Hi,
Does anyone trade stock here? who do you open account with?

 

I use HSBC - Merrill Lynch. I heard TD - Pricewater House is good too.

 

Cong,
Do you trade yourself or there is IR helping you out?? and is there a minimum cash you need to put into the account?

 

I do all trading myself. I buy to keep unless I need the cash then I sell. But if you want to do sell short or regular trading then an IR will help. There's a minimum of $5k to open an account. It's actually a very good time to buy US stock since the Canadian dollar is so strong.

 

Have you hear of Qtrade?? How r they?? Honestly I don't want to keep like 5K in the account.....I feel kind of dumb.....

Another questionf for you cong,
When you look at a stock, and the volume colume. Is that the daily trading volume or it's total volume?? thanks in advance
