I am one of the people that has spoken with compliance at Scottrade.

I understand that Scottrade is putting in place a system to trade directly with the Canadian exchanges. They did not have that capability previously.

What is worrying me is the loss of owning the stocks in the Canadian symbol.

If the US puts on capital controls, and I believe that they will have to at some point, I was hoping that the Canadian stocks would offer some protection.

It would be nice if one of the commentators would comment on the issue.
