Thanks.

Yes Dimple, I am with Questrade for 11/2 years now and so far so good, never had any problems.

Thanks. Am I correct in understanding their current fee per trade is min $4.95 and max $9.95? Are there any catches on minimum number of trades or anything like that?

Questrade (at this time) is the only Canadian brokerage that allows USD within an RRSP account.
This is a huge advantage because it avoids currency conversion fees that can be a drag.

Thanks desi friend.

patrickm - I did notice the USD provision in a RSP on questrade. Maybe, I have a poor understanding. But, how is the contribution room managed when trading in US currency? At what exchange rate? And how does fluctuations in rates affect the cdn equivalent of the contribution room?

Both - commission to your brokerage and MER% to the management company.

No different than regular common shares.
