Hi Hatim, I thought that "WILIF" would get your attention :-) I trade through Fidelity Investments, normally using their Fidelity On Line (FOX) stand-alone software, although sometimes I use their web site at fidelity.com, which is too slow. I can get quotes on Wi-Lan using "WIN.AL" from both fidelity sites, and on Yahoo.com as well. In order to buy or sell shares of Wi-Lan (which reside only on the Alberta Exchange, I guess), I have to contact a Fidelity International Trader at 1-800-544-2976 They apparently can purchase the shares on the Alberta exchange for me, at an increased brokerage fee. Neither Fidelity, nor I can get a quote, using the WILIF identification, so my assumption is; yes, it's only a tracking symbol. We both must use WIN.AL . After the shares are purchased they show up in my account history, etc as an "Unknown Security" with a Symbol of WILIF . Apparently, because these "Unknown shares" are on a "foreign" exchange, my account is manually updated, when some kind of batch computer processing takes place (on Fidelity's system) around 4:00 AM . A bit confusing, but I hope that this helps. You may call fidelity at the number above, and probably get some more information. Hope you get on the NASDAQ some day. Also, thanks for the quick response to my questions. Best Regards, Mardy.
