So 3 votes for QT so far? I'm assuming you guys already considered how awful their TV ads are and still picked them?
I think WS is pretty new though, so maybe you guys just had QT from a long time ago?
Just a few more questions if you guys will indulge me:
I've read a few things about inactivity fees on QT, but it's a bit sparse and I'm not sure it's accurate. Is there anything to worry about there if I don't do anything for 1-2 years at a time?
I'm seeing lots of comments that QT is better for USD investments since they only charge the conversion fee commission one way - is that correct compared to WS? It seems like you would have to pay to convert to USD with QT when buying, but then you can sell and keep it in USD (or receive a dividend), whereas WS is a commission both ways since you can't hold USD. Am I thinking of that correct?
It seems the general consensus online is WS is better for buying and holding long term whereas QT is better for more active trading. Is there any real truth to this? It seems this recommendation comes from the fact that QT has better real time trading tools vs WS.
I would be able to have an "upgraded" plan with WS as I'll bring enough money over to them such that the management fees would be around half of QT. Since both sets of fees are really low anyway, so this be a factor in my decision? Seems like it might only be a few hundred bucks difference each year.
Thanks all! I won't clog up the thread anymore after this.
