  6. I'm glad the article didn't include BlackBerry. They are just hobbling along and never will return to glory.

  7. Haven't bought any stocks yet. I assume Questrade is the ideal shop?

  8. Where's BMO? It only mentions TD. Personally, over the years, BMO has outperformed TD.

  9. Sadly, i already had all three listed in the article. I guess i am doing good then.

  10. It's near year end and was in the hunt for padding my portfolio. Thanks for the info.
