Well thats great news. I've given up on E-Trade with frustration over the long download times & opened an account with Sanfords. You are right. Their site was down for a good part of Friday. Download times are however great and they have a good deal of information. I agree NZ market is no longer a great place to be.

 

For what its worth I've been recommended QAD.

Subject: [sharechat] Aust A/c

Philip,

 

I looked into all that 6 months ago, and ended up plugging into Sanfords, who open a CMA in the client's name with National Australia Trustees, a branch of NAB. It sounds fine in theory, but just at the moment my CMA statement and Sanfords disagree by about $12T .Everyone blames me naturally, I have about 3 separate a/c #s to throw a dart at.

 

Which brings me to my pet grouch about ASX, my Ozzy charting program suppliers, broker, and most businesses I've had reason to contact.....They will NOT ANSWER emails, and phonecalls need at least 15 minutes to get past the robot that picks up the phone. Sanford's screens are very good, data archives excellent, but their site has a tendency to break down .

 

  I do not like Ossy dealings, and very much regret the increasingly apparent need to do so.
