DY, MFL, PFG, K, RTA - All on Toronto, all long. Not really scientifically chosen, just what I've been adding to lately. Leveraged plays on the prices of gold and oil, except for DY, which is a mining services company with some exposure to the price of silver. Canadian quotes and info are easy to find #reply-5384329 Stockwatch gives 10 quotes at a time www2.canada-stockwatch.com In the SI portfolios, you just put T., M., V., or C. in front of the ticker, like T.xxx In Yahoo, quote.yahoo.com , you just put .TO, .M, .V, or .AL behind the ticker, like xxx.TO One source of the exchange ratio could be the CME quote for the near month cme.com - currently 65.94 centavos americanos for Sep futures. Thanks, Forest ........ cheers and good luck to all ....... marcos
