One Canadian orSounds reasonable, doesn't it. Dealing with the decline in price in IPM(CF) over the last several days of the week. After some study I have surmised what I think might be the reason. There is always a reasonable explanation for any set of events that you see in the market. Many of you know that Canada is a nation that does a lot of mining. A case may be made for interlisted stocks taking thier lead prices off of the Canadian Exchange listing. Remember that there are at least ten Americans for every Canadian and then examine the "value of stock traded" in an interlisted like Barrick Gold Corporation on both exchanges. You will find that the numbers you get are not a ten to one ratio. Canadian companies are often at the forefront in mining technologies and Canadians are big investors in the mining industry. The price of many interlisted mining companies often is settling on the TSE and following on the NYSE. I would like to digress a moment if I may.A small joke for any German readers. It is always good to see an international interest in these forums. I learned how to say this many years ago. I had to learn it for a job I was doing. Needless to say the phonetic spelling of it here is likely not correct, but it was only ever learned phonetically. The gentleman I needed to talk to lived in Germany and owned a property in Canada and I was taught this sentence by one of his neighbors. I guess I got it right, he began asking me questions. Ich hab jemen gefunden, wo mit dil morgan, am telephone sprechken kann. For anyone who didn't get this joke, my regrets. Back to the subject at hand. The culprit in this THEORY is mainly NASDAQ:I disagree kimberley , I think the culprit is a Canadian. ...it is likely obvious...

A fundamental analysis would "likely" yield more accurate information on the price trend.
