Slim- I am with you on Questrade going down. I have been with them for around a month now. They do go down in the middle of the day sometimes.. and I tried calling their customer service, they don’t pick up the phone. I am losing money here.. if it happens again.. I will be forced to take my accont to somewhere else…
I tried doing Transfer Positions from one account to another. As soon as the transfer completed, I checked my transferred positions, voila.. their avg price has been jacked up on its own – which means the profits have gone down …what the heck.. I am going to call them tonight and fight with them.. this is ridiculous..!

Is it really necessary to go all ETF’s or all Mutual funds? I prefer to look at each contribution and use the most appropriate vehicle. Check out this graph which compares the two:

Thanks for the info.

However if I’m not mistaken the TD account will have annual fees for rrsps unless over a certain amount?

I thought the fee-free version was the mutual fund account which is separate.

Yep, you can buy the e-series mutual funds right from your TD discount brokerage account. Just go to order entry -> mutual funds, and put in the fund code (e.g.: TDB900 for the Canadian Index Fund).
