Questrade Sucks!!!

I won't recommend Questrade to any of my friends and I will ask my friends to transfer out their questrade account. Their webtrader sucks. It shows inaccurate transaction history. When I called in, they send me to the www.penson.com website to check the history. I understand that they may have some connections, but it sucks that you got inaccurate information from questrade website and you have to check another website for the history information.

Also, the webtrader interface is so ugly. The claimed 4.99 trading fee is not true. If you trade more than 400 shares, the price goes up to 10+ dollars. I used to use CIBC, and I found CIBC is much much better than Questrade, even though I think CIBC is not a very good brokerage as well. I really regret that I transferred out my CIBC account. I have to transfer back to my CIBC account even though I have to pay $120 for the transfer.

Questrade Sucks!!!

March into top 1,000,000 ranking

We've made a big jump in the ranking of star5.ca. It starts from about 11,000,000 in Dec. 07 and it is around 1,300,000 in the middle of Feb. 08. In less than 2 months, we have progressed 10,000,000 ranks. That's amazing. Some of my thoughts on the development of the star5.ca websites.

* beef up classified ad. add image upload, content editing, delete support, provide better service for registered users/merchants, email hiding, post emailing.

* add more yellow page content

* add advertisement platform, merchants can add/edit their own sale page, providing sub-domain names to sponsor merchants.

* add my Faceb00k application

* switch to dedicated server or dedicated shared host to provide better services.
