I made a couple of Canadian trades thru Fido on Thurs. Two buys of Connacher of 3K each.

What I did is get a quote on CLL.TO thru Yahoo and then convert it thru

x-rates.com

edit...I just found out you can also get the CLL.TO quote directly from Fido.

I then entered a limit buy a penny or two above the USD price thru the pink sheet symbol CLLZF. The first 3K took maybe five minutes, the second close to an hour.

Fido said the trades were routed thru Canaccord who is a Canadian broker-dealer.

My limit buys of 3.66 went thru at 3.655. Very happy they executed since they have popped close to 10% in little more than a day.
