victor, the vse actually no longer exists, they've amalgamated the vancouver and alberta exchanges into a combined canadian over the counter exchange, venture something or other its called.

interesting you mention that, is it better to have an exchange where its buyer beware and the exchange doesn't get involved, or one where the exchange gives the illusion they offer protection but really do zilch...bre-x was added to a toronto stock index...yes, it started in alberta, but at least there, (or in vancouver) people acknowledge the questionable reputation. our toronto exchange has been quite weak, not only with bre-x but with other stocks. in that regard, the american exchanges have done a better job.

victor, what sort of rules do you WANT ? this is a serious question...

Don't know about vse but its interesting Australia doesn't have many stocks over $10. The public *loves* to buy LOTS of shares....LOL

So most are in the range of 10c-50c....in Aussie dollars..

Telstra, a hot hot stock, IPOed at 1.95 with warrants...

The %age gains are still same...but intraday swings are non existant...
