Figis - just in case you are not aware of this, you may like to know that if you trade on the TSX with a broker who is open till TSX closes at 9 pm GMT, you are able to react immediately to any news out of Canada or USA that affects the shares in which you have an interest. With a GB broker who closes at 4pm GMT when GB markets close, you have to then rely upon a limit order and wait till some time later to see if you have secured your trade. That can be costly. Timing is everything -nothing more frustrating than getting news out of Canada but cannot react till too late. Excuse me if you know this but I learnt it from helpful PI's on the boards in the past so like to pass on to others if its helpful.
