Q: Charitable Donations. We checked our cash account at Questrade on Friday regarding charitable donations of a Canadian security made to charities. We discovered that a fee of $25 per donation had been charged. We contacted the broker to complain and the first agent and supervisor both said that it couldn't be waived although we were offered one free trade for each donation. We then followed up with an email to the CEO of Questrade, Edward Kholodenko to complain about the fee and cc'd Rob Carrick, John Heinzl and Tim Cestnick of the Globe and Jamie Golombek of the Financial Post. Jamie Golombek got back to us to indicate that CIBC did not charge a fee for the same donation.

Post only if you think others would be interested.

Q: Regarding the answer to my question with respect to Nortel and the tech decline received Saturday @ 3:49 a.m., my family held stock in Nortel and I am very appreciative with respect to the detailed and quality of the answer to my question. Myself and probably many others had concerns with the Nasdaq doing what it has been doing lately and your perfectly explained answer made me feel a lot more comfortable. I guess you were working late due to the timing of the answer. Thanks again,

Q: Hello 5i
I want to re arrange my TFSA and seek your advice, I own a lot of Topicus in my TFSA and have been considering selling it to buy something else, for two reasons. First, it is close to CSU and I have a lot of that, too. so, I would like to delute that concentration. Also, I want a US company with high premiums that I can sell options on. My preference would be Nvidia. But, because Topicus has gone down so much, lately, I would like to get someting good that has gone down as much as it. Therefore I was looking mostly at Square. APPs might give me a faster ride. < in both directions, thought!> but Square might be more reliable for a retired person. Appreciate any suggestions and, as always, respect and value your judgement
