You'll Get Used To It And Never Go Back. Here in Canada ( the more advanced society, eh -g- ) we have used it now for quite a few years. As a matter of fact, when I go to the US board , I have trouble enough with the fractions...and then I have to consider currency conversions on each trade.Needless to say , I don't participate in fast moving stocks in the US. OH, and you may not see the spreads of a penny at a time on stocks over a certain dollar level.Those are usually incremented in 5 cent steps here, and I expect the same there.Not that you can't do a split bid in most cases, it's just not done. So a typical bid would be 45.40 bid 45.45 ask etc....depending on the stock. You'll get used to it -g-
