Re: Lowest maintenance= Best value (by Dave S.):

I agree with the basic concept here. Low maintenance fees coupled with high trading value can result in good value. Whether trading becomes harder and harder in the future, who really knows, but for my purposes, doesn't really matter right now. I own in Florida w/ low maintenance fees and good (not great) trading power. I'm not in a position to fly down every year but often enjoy somewhere w/i driving distance in NE US...NH, ME, Cape Cod etc. All cheaper than renting hotel. In short, I picked up up TS for a song so up to this point, it has worked out well. One random thought....those who threaten to default on their maintenance fees here are often warned about the hit to their credit record. Defaulting on a property in South Africa.....I know in this electronic age it's a smaller world, but do they have the ability to register a big hit to credit rating from that distance?
