How I Got $200 and 50 Free Trades from CIBC Investor’s Edge for a Self-Directed Brokerage Account

Sometimes it’s worth ignoring the internet and making a phone call!

Do I Have to Pay a Fee to Take Money Out of My Online Non Registered Self Directed Brokerage Account?

Five big Canadian banks have affiliated self-directed online brokerages that offer non-registered investment accounts. You’d think they’d all charge the same fee (or nothing) to take cash back out of your account, right? But they don’t! Before you open an account, you may want to know which brokerage charges nothing and which one charges $10 each time you take out cash.
