Yes, international online broker. Well I'm sure you know better than I but I called them last week and set up a account.Easy access without adr's or difficulty with double brokers. The interesting story here for myself is the interest coming from the big boys recently(Gldmn,Mrrl,ect.)with adr's and international equities-2 w.s.j. articles last week. Now if IAAC is a leader and have the relationships built up internationally supposably that's worth something to the investor. ***With a 700k float on IAAC,any news and things could get wild;don't you think? Someone said they tried to add at the end of the day Friday and got messages back that MM's had no shares so he bought at the market.If a daytrading group ever get hold ... Also IAAC did break it's 52 wk hg on 850% x volume today.They put the site up at the end of the day.Sorry so long!

Anthony re: IAAC next week they are opening an online trading that will alow normal domestic trading but also real time quotes and trades in foreign markets. THat is what is unique. You can trade real time in Asia, Germany, etc.. and their annual report says that they will liscence this technology to other brokers. www.intltrader.com is the new site check it out. low float and market cap, this is unique to all OLB and with the interest in foreign markets and the daytrading fiends that want to trade around the clock.......

OLB's claim to be international, but are a far cry from being so...pretty much US ADR centric...try to trade anything non-ADR (Softbank, PCCLF, Haikaru Tsuchin, Trans Cosmos) through the likes of a Schwab or an Etrade and watch the crap hit the fan...a) while they all have a Global Support group, they have no clue and you still MUST transact through a broker and at a premium cost, b) spreads are HUGE (if they even have a US market maker), c) realtime quotes and the like are an impossibility due to the global clock and third party quote services are often behind by a week in updating pricing info, d) timely information is virtually non-existent and e) most require a min of 100 share blocks which for the likes of Softbank would be an entry to play of $80K and for Yahoo Japan at 1,000,000Yen, well, you do the math!...for folks looking to find the next gen of net users, HK, Japan, etc are the place to be and for folks thinking that the next wave will be nets orgs with a true global focus and trading capabilities 24x7, these folks MAY be on to something.
