Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm satisfied with Scotia iTrade as well. I don't have any problems with them.

In response to Fred's question, the Daily Edge report that comes out every morning lists upcoming earnings for companies they cover, but I don't think that's something they could supply for companies they don't cover.

Q: In response to Paul's request for info on Scotia iTrade, I can't compare it to other on-line brokerages but I am mostly satisfied. I have used it for about five years and have never experienced a outage or slow-down. And that is, to my mind, the most important service they can offer.

They sometimes have a problem answering questions - a few weeks ago I asked if they could supply upcoming earning dates, etc. on equity information - never received a reply and that's just one example. Gee, I hope somebody from iTrade is reading this.

Q: I know that the new 10 year contract for KBro is very beneficial for them but does the fact they have to build a new facility to serve it mean earnings will be depressed next year? Thanks, J.

Q: First, I often wondered what would happen to Alaris (AD) should one of their investment goes south - now I know. And it is the reason why I have stayed clear - the risk is higher than it appears.

I'm at loss to understand what the "due bill" announcement from WFT means. And I am wondering about your take on the company.

Q: Do you know of a good free portfolio tracker? I'd like to be able to track historical performance and have it properly handle stock splits and dividends. I've been using google finance but it doesn't seem to deal with dividends properly and also messed up the stock split on CNR.

Thanks,
Rob
