Merci beaucoup!

I’m feeling better about all this thanks to you. It’s fair to say your a wise man and I’m lucky you took the time to give me some insights about life. Thank you

Thanks.

I got the best possible exemple.
I just made a search for booking a flight from Edmonton to Vancouver and from Edmonton to Las Vegas. 1.5h trip vs at least 5h trip. Both dates are leaving October 17 and coming back October 19.

Edmonton to Vancouver round trip is 316.31$cad and Edmonton to Las Vegas round trip is 373.52$cad!

And that was very quick without trying to look for the best price and date.

That’s the issue we have here in Canada. Our rule of thumb is if we travel it’s cheaper to go out of Canada that travel within. Air canada rip us off big time and there’s nothing we can do about it because that’s how the whole government is built by ripping us off.

We have no power at all so we get ripped off by all the major institutions.

Air canada provide the worst service i have ever seen but at the highest price possible. Flying is so expensive within Canada that a lot of family are forced to only see each other once a year or once every few years. Its sad because it’s all very bad for families.

No one talk about it because the government keep it quiet. News are censored here and i noticed that a lot when I switch VPN from google.ca to google.com.

A while back I was in USA VPN looking at news from USA on google.com and noticed news about a whole lot of people in the UK that had been arrested for sexually exploiting a lot of girls. The news was absolutely disgusting but true. You could see all those evil vilain pedophile/rapist faces and I was completely shocked by how evil they were.

I then turned off my USA VPN and went into google.ca and couldn’t find a single news about these horrible individuals rapist. I started searching by keywords newcastle uk rapist and still couldn’t find anything.

And that is part of a much bigger problem here that infuriate me. The Canadian news are extremely bias filled with suggesting messages and with a huge lack of transparency which is why I’m forced to use VPN to “travel” out were the news get real.

Why did the Canadian news avoid to mention the uk horrible and absolutely abhorrently evil newcastle rapist news is because the government does not want to influence citizens regarding the viciously pervasive issue that is currently destroying from within UK, France, Germany, Sweden.

But Canada is a British and people here are really starting to worry that what happens in Europe is coming here(already is) but the news outlet keep covering up everything related to it which unfortunately is exactly what Sweden did and now they are done with sadly.

So when you say that Ameritrade is awesome my mind fly right out and it forces me to see why and why is Canadian broker rip us off. The feeling it give me make me wonder how free we really are.

In USA people sue all the time for absolutely everything but I almost never hear of people suing because if you sue here you have everyone against you and institutions will use news outlet to brainwash people.

Not long ago I could have sure a major Canadian institution. In the USA someone in my position would sue for millions $ but here I have absolutely no hope unless I can afford the best lawyers and have millions in bank to fight the major institutions that blatantly did me wrong many time.

Suing give a lot of power when it’s accessible to all citizens like in the USA and its used to force institutions to change for the greater good but here in Canada that power is almost non existent.

I must say you definitely lifted opened a can of worm that I try the best I can to keep shut in order to maintain what’s left of my sanity.

If I fixate too much on this I will end up moving out of here... which has been in my mind for some time now. New Zealand sounds about right.

Thanks I appreciate it but as far as I know all Canadian broker charge for L2. Like I said before USA citizens get real good deals everywhere be it super fast and dirt cheap shipping to cheap air travel to Free L2 and great service.

In Canada we get ripped off a lot in many things I really shouldn’t think about it too much because it’s so frustrating. I think all Canadian online brokers are all in together with charging for L2 and lives streaming. Very little population in Canada compared to USA and financial institutions use that in their favour.

I called Ameritrade a while back but they told me its only for USA citizens. I called the Canadian TD online broker and suddenly there’s all those fees coming out of nowhere just because.

I pay 42$Cad per month for 1gb data for my phone with 500 minutes Canada wide call and that’s supposed to be a great deal.

I pay between 5-10$usd per trade with Questrade (cheapest in Canada).

I pay 45$cad for 24 beers.

Sorry there I’m getting overwhelmed by thinking about how we get ripped in Canada compared to USA citizens.


Traveling by plane across Canada is extremely expensive and easily goes above 1000$cad for a 1 person round trip. Its so bad loads of people will usually drive across Canada instead of flying to avoid getting ripped off by air canada and westjet.

Canadiens internet providers, air lines, financial institutions and so in are all in together to rip Canadian off.

Think about it this way.

USA has a lot of population to help keep control over big institutions(fees, deals, discounts and so on).

The very low population in Canada make us basically insignificant in the face of big institutions that can come up with whatever high prices they can think of.

Do cherish your Ameritrade account because you can.

Thanks Jugs, I appreciate it! Unfortunately I did get mishandled a lot by Questrade but I think now I have learned enough to know that TD is the way for me.

I once called Questrade about a problem and spoke to 3 different reps and got 3 different answers. I got the problems solved by asking a supervisor to help me. I think they hire very inexperienced people unfortunately. I have to pay for L2 a lot of money as well and also have to pay for live quotes streaming.

Thanks again for sharing your great advice to me!

Thanks for the great info. I have been thinking about moving to TD broker for a while rather than Questrade which really is disappointing. I guess you just tipped the scale toward TD even more!

20 min delay sounds nasty but at least it didn’t allow algos.

That is what I’m trying to figure out, did they really change the ex date or is it an error? I think its an error. How can the ex date be after the record date?

Thanks for the reply. I did contact Questrade and they told me the ex dividend date is September 1 which is wrong so I contacted them again last week and have been waiting a whole week for them to tell me that sdlp told them they had changed the record date from August 29 to September 6.

But they can’t just change the record date like that without warning us so I don’t believe that sdlp did changed the date or had the right to change the date if they did.

Unfortunately I’m in Canada and we don’t get real like you guys in the USA. I have to do all the work to get my dividends otherwise they will never give it to me.

Btw Questrade staff are quite incompetent most of them and I talk from experience which makes this more frustrating than it should.

I need help getting my dividends please. Sdlp record date was August 29 which mean that the ex dividend date was August 25. Nasdaq says the ex dividend date was September 1 but that is wrong, it can’t be after the record date.

Help please

Why is the price not going up even after someone bought over 600k at 4pm?

Great thanks!

So the stock will go up today?

Is that good news?

IDCC is overvalued. The price doesn't correspond anymore to the current earnings. I'm glad I sold last week all of my shares... I had a feeling exactly this would happen.

No mean no. If you think no might not mean no I sure hope you don't think like when a girl say no to you she doesn't want u too...

No mean no, yes mean yes. Simple English unless you don't speak English. Do you?

Let's hit 130$ today!!

U mean boring by interesting?

Better they reward themselves officially than stealing from the company. At least they are transparent.

Buy buy buy!!! Its so low right now and I'm glad because I can buy At a great discount price!

I wonder if this would have ever happened if the passenger refusing to leave was a white woman instead of an Asian man.

Finally!!

Tried to reply to "Big pop at earning"

Lol

To make 1000$ of dividends in one year at this rate I would need to buy about 75000$ of IDCC. Its very little dividend in comparison to the initial investment. Unless of course you bought IDCC when the stock was way cheaper then of course you would be getting some sweet dividends.

Lol that's so small it shouldn't even be called a dividend!

Why is there so little IDCC trades going on??

Smart move !

Is it possible that IDCC growth is about to slow down and the stock price will keep falling?
