Where do you go to cash in a bond? Just your bank? Do you pay a fee?

Go to your bank and they'll take care of it for you. Should not be a fee for that.

There's also an online tool to figure out if it's fully matured I guess? Or figure out the maturity value? IDK if I need to do that before I go.

There is an online tool to figure that out. You don't need to do it as the Bank will have access to that information too.

The Scottrade site just seemed unnecessarily complicated. Like finding basic information such as "what is the cost basis of my shares in XX" was impossible. Or "I'd like to set up dividend reinvestment" wasn't possible at all. Trading was needlessly complicated with no automatic calculator to let you know how much you were committing (roughly)....

All that seems possible on the TD site. So it's a win I guess as long as they keep $7 trades.

I had to Google it.
TD Ameritrade is a brokerage firm based in Omaha, Nebraska. The letters TD are derived from Toronto-Dominion Bank, the largest shareholder. The company provides services for individuals and institutions that are investing online.

Canadian mining firm? Risky with Trump being Trump?
It's in the gutter and the currency game is leaning in its favor. I'm not a great trader but it's one of 10 I've been watching for 2+ yrs. My guess is a nice spike soon but :iono:
