This is great news.
Especially for those that are frequent traders, who can take advantage of IB's low-fee commission structure.

IB has some of the best shortable inventory in the world and not sure about CAD and USD. i assume both.can you use both US and CAN dollars for tfsa and rrsp account?
side question: how available are the shortable shares in IB compared to other online brokers?
Essentially this: http://www.questrade.com/trading/services/margin_powerWould the stocks in a TFSA at IB contribute to my buying power in my margin account? If so ill make the switch, if not ill keep my tfsa at td. Please someome let me know.
I started a thread 1.5 years ago (wow time flies) about how IB Canada severed its ties with IB US. Wouldn't that make IB Canada's inventory significantly smaller?IB has some of the best shortable inventory in the world and not sure about CAD and USD. i assume both.

Cheaper commission. . . bu if its buy and hold and only etfs, then you are right it doesnt make sense. Unless they can sell alot on doing covered calls or whatever.and pay $12.50 a quarter plus commissions for the privilege. Other brokers provide this service free of charge plus commission free ETFs. Why so excited?
