About future up trades to prevent any further issues? Compensation to investors for loses? When customers will have phone access to advisors again?<\/p>\n<p>Probably no to all my questions.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsx.com\/files\/trading\/daily-trading-report\/Daily_Trading_Report_2018-01-02.pdf\">2018-01-02 Report<\/a> states that the TSX experienced 829,930 trades on the day (number of trades will be a better indication of retail volume than trading value), while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsx.com\/files\/trading\/daily-trading-report\/Daily_Trading_Report_2017-11-15.pdf\">2017-11-15 Report<\/a> (date chosen to be reasonable recent and reasonably typical) reports 889,332 trades. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously this is the smallest of all possible samples using an imperfect proxy, but this doesn&#8217;t look like an unprecedented explosion of retail activity to me! I might put a chart together at some point, or perhaps some Industrious and Assiduous Reader could do it for me. But it does seem that perhaps a few more details are required before we can understand the horrible service Canadian retail investors are getting from their beloved banks. Until we get both a convincing explanation of the problem and a reasonably well-detailed exposition of what is being done to address the problem, I suggest that retail investors not count on being able to trade during an actual market break.<\/p>\n<p>However, the market was up again today, presumably due to the five-year Canada yield continuing to rise &#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pfin.ca\/\">now at 2.00%<\/a>!
