Hi Brinks ( and/or anyone else around smarter than me ) Well I took a modest position---I think---in Marion. I trade thru Scottrade that does not deal in Australian listed issues at all. So I went to Etrade where I have my IRA account and the only way I could take a position in Marion was thru---and I hope it was finance.yahoo.com the Pink Sheet version of Marion; the broker said it was one in the same but it seems the last time prior to my buy, the last time Marion was traded was on 5/10/07 ( and my doubt, here, springs forth from the fact that the Australian issue is trading 1/2 million shares a day )....he told me the bid was .74 and ask was .76...so I went in for the ask and got filled. My question is this: do you think I got the american version of Marion ( like in an ADR? ) and is the Australian dollar weaker than the American dollar, hence the .91+pps when I bring up the Australian version? a very confused lazarre who, for the first time, is not sure what the hell he bought? kind of lol.
