I thought I was going to be able to trade Canadian securities directly on the Toronto exhcange with T. D. Waterhouse, but as soon as its merger made it T. D. Ameritrade, I got an announcement that Canadian services and transactions in Canadian dollars had terminated. Any broker, as far as I know, will trade Canadian securities as "Pink Sheet" listings. Symbols for many of these can be found using Yahoo. Others can be found using the Pink Sheets web site: pinksheets.com Use this site to get a quote. There is a button on the stock quote page to translate the quote and bid/ask into $US. Place a limit order in U. S. dollars with your broker using the pink sheets symbol, for example, using COSWF for COS.UN (Toronto symbol). Do not use market orders for pink sheet listings, because you may pay a lot more than you expected. If you want to assure a transaction, make your limit price slightly better than the asked if you are buying, slightly less than the bid if you are selling. On the whole, although I sometimes feel I have been cheated, pink sheet transactions work OK for me.
