Tom Galvin is replacing PG with FMKT (Freemarkets.com) on their recommended list. They have no shame. They pulled the same stunt on overstating B2B revenues that Priceline pulled, counting sales made by customers as their own gross revenues, instead of the actual licensing and transaction fees.

TSE is running on string and chewing gum, that's the real problem. Plus many of the brokerages share common infrastructure and that seems to be broken this week, a number of firms (even the normally good ones) are all sucking wind with performance problems. However I was pleased to see while I was out today my buy stops on oil (TLM) and PDG were triggered. So something worked on the TSE. :) Too bad I had to go out today. I had sold the ND futures early in the day at 4541 and took profits after the first big move down stalled (and I had to leave). I see that Price just barely came back to my entry and not to where my stop would have been... gee, might just be as close to selling the top of the Nas as I might have got... ;) And yes, Canadians can short after 3 days after IPO - as soon as shares settle and can be borrowed, we can go to it. However anecdotal evidence from individual investors suggests that maybe all of 4 people in Canada actually short stocks. Go figure.
