>> still get quoted in fractions<< Yeah, my ticker will give me either. I was listening to Bob Pasani on CNBC discuss the transition from fractions to decimals. He said it is tougher for traders to find where the market is, when there are 100 increments instead of 16. It reminds me of the transition Canada made to metric some two decades ago. We were converting kilometers per hour back to MPH so we could understand. We were encouraged to "think metric". JDS Uniphase, Nortel, Ballard Power, to name a few, are all interlisted in Toronto. They always trade on the nickel. Only 20 increments instead of 16. IMO, not a difficult adjustment to make.
