Earlie, Merrill Lynch has a requirement when I buy a stock through a broker on a foreign exchange the value of the trade must be $10,000 US. They do have some Canadian companies I can purchase on line which do not have to meet this requirement, but when I use my broker - at least this was true when I purchased this stock. I have not made a purchase recently so requirements could have changed. These requirements for purchases seem to change all the time. I know they have some minimum dollar requirements for purchasing Pink Sheet stocks, but there is no requirement for selling. Wonder what will happen when these great companies they have been pumping end up as pink sheets. <g> Joan
