Title: Can I use Ameritrade to buy Canadian stocks online?
Post by: lindacarnel23 on November 05, 2011, 03:42:44 AM
Does the Ameritrade online trading website allow purchase of Canadian stocks (Toronto Stock Exchange TSX) online? (NOT via phone call)

Do they charge the same commission rate from buying in Canada as in buying in the US?

What other online discount brokers allow online purchase of Canadian stocks can you recommend?

Yes, I would be very surprised if they did not since the owners are a Canadian Bank which is a member of the Maple Group which is currently in process of buying the Canadian exchanges.

Usual policy I have seen is the commission is the same on US or Canadian securities except that the currency changes.  (i,e, if the Canadian $ goes up then buying Canadian stock will be more expensive in US $ terms.)
