Roger, <no hard feelings>, yeah sure ;-). Looks like you've got a good point. If you give specific instructions to buy into a specific account, then the broker is obliged to abide by this. No question about it. One way to defeat shorts in Canada is to use an RRSP account. Not always practical, but it's better than going to the trouble of registering the shares. I guess it depends if one is in for the long term, then registering the shares is no big deal. knight

To All Interested Parties: DESERT DIRT INDEX VALUES AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997: NOTE: None of the Desert Dirt/Clay/Sand companies has made any announcement since the last update on Dec 12. Quarterly and Yearly returns appear below. I will begin another set of indices for 1998 based on the Dec 31, 1997 closing stock prices and using the latest numbers for shares outstanding for each of the 5 companies to distribute the initial investment on the basis of the Dec 31 Market Capitalizations. None of the 5 stocks had a positive performance in the 4th Quarter: GPGI was -6%, NAXOF was -11%, CHIP was -40%, MXAM was -55%, and IPMCF was -78%. For the year: MXAM was +134%, NAXOF was +79%, GPGI was +15%, CHIP was -61% and IPMCF was -71%. Note, a basket of these five stocks purchased at their Dec 31, 1996 closing price, with an investment into each on the basis of their relative market capitalizations, would be up 9.5% for the year. Buying an equal number of shares in each of the 5 companies would have resulted in a loss of 6.8%, while investing an equal dollar amount into each of the 5 would have returned 19.3% for the year. Additional details are available on the New Desert Dirt Gold Rush thread: exchange2000.com

Roger. close your margin account, and get a margin account at a reputable broker. It is funny though, as when I buy I get to specify which account, US$ or Canadian, and in addition which of the two of thos, cash or margin. You should be able to specify the account number precisely when you buy, and if they put it in the margin account, a letter to the SEC will sharpen them up. However the problems you have had already indicate to me that they want to establish a pattern for later unauthorised trades in your account. This is set up by account movements that you do not object to in writing. Later on they might make a trade you do not object to in writing. Now they can trade saying they have your verbal authority, and who is to deny it, as you have all this previous history of letting them run it at their discretion. Have you ever found they made an unauthorised small profitable trade for you? Beginning of the wedge of passive compliance, that they can turn into a carte blanche. I do not know who they are, and they might be honest, so these are just general cautions. Especially watch to see if they try to get you into any illegal activities. This can be used to subsequently muzzle you in a lawsuit, as they could expose the federal crime and conspiracy you committed. Bill
