Sergio, the VSE and ASE have merged vse.ca , there were too many exchanges here doing similar trading so the VSE and ASE merged to become venture company trading and some of the more mature companies will go to the TSE if they meet requirements. Sort of consolidation. As far as internet telephony there is no such thing - Scouser you full o' s##t man , course der is, you been done drinkin' hooch again, ya say, besides what 'bout all dem companies PR in' all 'bout internet telephony, they wouldn't lie to to us would they??? Well in a word- yes. Using the Internet for real time applications like telephony is au contrair ( thats french canadian for full o' S#1T ).Don't know about you guys but I talk in real time <G> .At worse case using "IP telephony" you need a private packet network or a well built public packet network with packet a prioritization feature. The Internet is neither ( and was deliberately designed that way for cost) If anyone is looking at companies claiming to be into internet telephony a) ask the CEO would he ever use his companies product to call a broker to make a trade {:-( ,b) buy on current- dare I say it- F/A only. So in conclusion, if a company , eg FCM has a private network, thats cool, but there is no such thing as Interent Telephony - only phony Interent Telephony. Also ,if you the company you are looking at is equipment only , thats cool too! John

Sergio--ITX--Has anyone mentioned this one before? It just had a 9/18 MA crossing. Stoc15/5 is a little high so it could come back a bit. Nice looking chart. I know nothing about their industry but they seem to be making a profit. Myron timely.com

Sergio, more info our new Casino ;-) Canadian Venture Exchange set to open VANCOUVER (CP) - After eight intense months of preparation involving hundreds of people from the country's investment community, the new Canadian Venture Exchange is scheduled to begin trading Monday with a minimum of hoopla. William Hess, the exchange's first president and chief executive, is to play host to a kickoff breakfast in Calgary. A similar function will be held in Vancouver with Dennis Burdett, the proposed chairman of the new organization, as the star attraction. Otherwise, it will be right down to business, with no ribbon cuttings, celebratory toasts or even a sentimental commemoration of the first trade. At least, everybody involved has their fingers crossed that it will be right down to business. ''Anything can come between what we hope will happen and what will actually happen,'' said Chris Lay, co-chairman of the steering committee that has overseen the merger of the Vancouver and Alberta stock exchanges. ''I've learned never to say never in this business. However, a lot of work has gone into this, so we're pretty confident that the transition will be smooth.'' The exchange, part of a restructuring of Canada's equities markets that was announced in March, will be the main market for small-capitalization stocks. The idea is to create a single, efficient national junior market instead of having several fragmented regional markets. Exchange officials concede they originally wanted to call the new organization the Canadian Exchange to reflect that national vision - from which is derived the symbol CDNX. The Toronto Stock Exchange, the country's largest equities market, took exception, so ASE and VSE officials came up with the Canadian Venture Exchange. But they kept the CDNX symbol. Calgary is home to the new exchange's corporate office, responsible for corporate finance, strategic planning, regional service operations, and certain executive and administrative functions. The Vancouver office will focus on operations, controlling trading services, surveillance, compliance and marketing. When trading starts Monday, about 2,200 companies will be listed. That includes 1,200 Vancouver exchange alumni and 1,000 from the Alberta exchange, said Denise Hendrickson, who was manager of corporate finance policy for the ASE and will now fill the same post in CDNX's Calgary office. Canadian Venture will later join forces with the Canadian Dealing Network. Once that happens, probably next spring, the roster of listings will increase to 2,500. About 400 of the initial 2,200 listings will be what the CDNX is classifying as Tier 1 companies, which will have minimum listing requirements comparable to those in effect on the TSE until last November. Tier 1 is considered the new exchange's premier level and is reserved for the most advanced issuers. Companies in this category will benefit from fewer filing requirements and improved service standards. The majority of CDNX issuers, however, will be Tier 2 companies and will be subject to a composite of the listing requirements demanded of VSE and ASE venture companies. A third tier will be introduced later, consisting primarily of existing Canadian Dealing Network quotations.
