Please forgive me if the following is a little too obvious, but I've seen the same question, ("What's that in CDN/US $'s ?"), several times on this and other threads. Good question, actually, and since we are obviously investors on both sides of the 49th parallel, (NN - U.S.; NNC - Canada), I endorse the suggestion that we indicate to which currency we are referring when stating dollar amounts. One easy way to get a rate exchange answer is bookmark a rate exchanger site such as: xe.net These sites typically have the exchange rate up-to-date and will give you an exact value; - or - you can try the following: Get current exchange rate from WWW or most newspaper financial sections. Exchange rate quote currently is about 69 cents U.S. ($0.69). Therefore, one U.S. $ = 1/0.69 = 1.45 CDN. Thus: CDN to U.S. ----------- = 0.69 x n # of dollars (e.g. $27 CDN = .69 x 27 = $18.63 U.S.) U.S. to CDN ----------- = 1.45 x n # of dollars (e.g. $18.63 U.S. = 1.45 x 18.63 = $27 CDN.) JJ
