Mike,

Actually in my case there will be only a small amount of gains so if I do have to pay the transfer fee I would come out better buying and selling.

fees for transfer vs commission and tax issues of just selling and buying again.

Questrade will pay the transfer fees (as will most brokers) and you don’t have to sell and buy – just transfer the investments “in-kind” so there are no capital gains issues.

FT,

Thanks for the link. I forgot about that post. It helped me direct my research into what would work best for us. I’m thinking Questrade for now, but I’ve got to look at the fees for transfer vs commission and tax issues of just selling and buying again.

Don’t worry I’ll be using some referral links from fellow bloggers when the time comes.

Thanks everyone,
Tim

Ringo, if you’re having issues with your application, you should contact Emil V. He’s pretty good at solving client issues.

Overall Questrade is good (especially on fee & commission). But don’t know whether they’re “over-trading” (with too many clients but too little staff), my Oct 2007 RESP plan transfer application is now still “in progress”, could have to wait till end of Jan 2008!

I use Credential Direct: http://www.credentialdirect.com. No admin fees for trading accounts. Commission start at 19 bucks (even for limit orders) and max commission is something like 250 bucks on a single trade (yeah, i know it’ll be a while before either of us get there). The 19 dollar is standard, too…you don’t have to be an ‘active’ trader, like some brokerages in order to get better pricing.

They also have some other benefits, like level 2 quotes for free. I use them an like them. I do have accounts elsewhere – long story, but my personal fav is this one.
