Russwinter, The reality is that there is no equivalent in the US to Canadian Juniors. I think it is worth the extra effort to set up properly and be able to trade them.

Gold Reserve (GLDR) and Metallica (METLF) also trade directly on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board.

Russ, Sorry to bother you one more time, but could you please provide the Canadian stock symbols for your list of stocks so that I can get quotes and charts from stockwatch? Thanks, vt

Russ/CC, thanks for the broker tips. I went ahead and enhanced my existing TD Waterhouse account to trade Canadian stocks. They told me twice that even though I have an online account for american stocks that I could not trade Canadian stocks online. I would have to phone my order in to a live broker. I suppose this conspicuous inability of Americans to trade Canadian stocks online is thanks to the Canadian brokerage industry fighting tooth and nail to protect their exorbitantly high commission structures. But they emphasised that my order would go straight to the Canadian exchange (thanks to there TD Greenline operation). The other advantage is that I will have a separate Canadian currency account to hold cash in Canadian $, in between trades.
