if you know any insiders to a public company they likely use a trader get them to inrtoduce you....skip the middleman....the trades are instant..comm about 2-2.5% in and 2% out...Bye the way what does this post think of Bluestar Batteries a spin off of Ballard...I like the management of the company and their direction...now if we could just get Ballard to direct some of their tech. into creating micro fuel cells to power small consumer goods like cells and laptops I see other companies in the US pursuing this but the don't have the patents that Ballard does....would be an interesting press release.

The web site looked awesome in the draft version. In terms of good execution, it is best to trade through a Canadian broker who has the correct terminal (VCT/CATS/ACE) sitting in close to him, if not in front of him. I have never traded any market on line and I won't because I just don't trust this method. When you trade with a live broker at a full service house, you can trade the same stock all day, and then record ALL of the buys and sells on only one buy ticket and one sell ticket for about .05% commish on stocks under $10.00. Over $10/share you can expect to pay .0025% but these stocks can be traded with a discount broker unless you need pinpoint execution. If you use this strategy, you don't have to show a large bid and "chip" away at your buying all throughout the day and save some money in the long run. As for YRI, we are in the mother of all triangles and await the resolution of such.
