Mike,

What I'd LIKE to do is find another discount broker/dealer and run a Canadian desk for them. I never achieved the critical mass necessary to compete with the E*Trade's of the world, and couldn't justify being licensed in all 50 states for the volume I was doing. That said, there doesn't seem to be a place in the US where you can do unsolicited Canadian trades for $50 a ticket, much less $14.95. The best I've found is 2%, and for the sizes I trade, unsolicited, that's too much.

Back to FCO, you never know when someone's going to wake up to their potential. Hopefully they've got enough cash to make it through a couple of quarters now. Cobalt isn't the first commodity most people think of, but as the US$ gets hit harder, eventually, FCO should draw some interest.

I'll be watching.

Don Martin
