What is the reason I cannot buy shares/stocks without going through a broker? Do you know of any short course about Canadian Investments? (I mean 6 months or less, just for my own knowledge). Any comments will be appreciated.
u need to go through broker or get seat on exchange..course is available through canadian securities institute.
go to csi.ca.
