    BMO InvestorLine. Online brokerage from Bank of Montreal. PLEASE BEWARE OF TRICKY BMO InvestorLine PRACTICE!! CAUTION - A Quarter is NOT a Quarter here! In all other BMO practices, a quarter is a quarter, but BMO InvestorLine calculates qualifying Quarter for Active Traders differently from their own normal acceptance of Quarters and differently from any other online brokerages: 30 trades are required in the PREVIOUS three calendar months, NOT in the normal Quarter as generally assumed and accepted. The example showing on the BMO Website (see direct quote below) for April, May & June as a previous quarter, which happens to correspond to Q2, is misleading. Beware that BMO's method of calculating quarters could put you at a distinct disadvantage. You may be charged $29 per limit trade instead of the expected $9.95 after you thought you had reached 30 trades and have qualified as an Active Trader in the "previous quarter".
    Direct quote from BMO InvestorLine: "If you execute 30 or more electronic equity and/or option trades per quarter and sign up for eServices, you will gain access to the Active Trader Program automatically*. Your status for the Program will be automatically evaluated each month based on your trading activity for the previous three calendar months. For example, for you to qualify for the Program starting July 1, you will need to execute 30 or more qualifying trades from April 1 to June 30."

    In reference to Jim Flaherty's Mini Budget of Oct. 30, 2007, Gordon Pape notes in his article on "Trust investors get a (small) break," 3 Nov. 2007, Toronto (GlobeinvestorGOLD): "... buried in Annex 1 of the document was this short paragraph: 'The rate reductions will also apply to the new distribution tax, which is generally applicable beginning in 2011, on publicly-traded income trusts and partnerships.' This means that when the tax kicks in on Jan. 1, 2011, it will be at a rate of 29.5 per cent, not 31.5 per cent as originally announced. And in 2012, it will drop to 28 per cent. So by 2012, the tax will be 11 per cent less than anticipated."

The overnight rate is the interest rate at which major financial institutions borrow and lend one-day funds among themselves. The Bank Rate is always at the top end of the operating band, which is half a percentage point wide. For example, if the operating band is 4.25 to 4.75 per cent, the Bank rate would be 4.75 per cent.
