in the thread www.canadianmoneyforum.com/showthread.php?p=5009 (post #4) Donkey asked the question "I'm also not clear on the logistics/pros/cons of buying ETF's on the TSX vs other exchanges? Should I just be considering TSX-listed ETF's?"
Me too!
I'm also looking at converting my current Altamira mutual fund accounts to an ETF portfolio, and am wondering if I should care whether I buy them from Canadian or US stock exchanges, and am unsure how it will eventually work (I expect to set up an account with Questrade, but haven't had any experience with brokerages, so I'm not sure how I will go from $Cdn in my bank account to purchases of US ETFs presumably in US$ and whether there are complications and currency exchange losses, etc). Also, I think there's considerations like currency fluctuation risk, and tax treatment of dividends, but am very unclear on these concepts.
Anybody have comments, or links to articles on this?
Thanks!
