<<As an ignorant American, would you please explain the 5-cent movements you wrote about? Is that a TSE rule?>> Stock below $5.00 can trade in 1 cent increment (and only half a cent below $0.50 I think). Over $5.00, it's 5 cents. It is a general Canadian Exchange rule I think, not sure. IdiotJed

Yes it is, used to trade in " eighths " above $5.00 a couple of years back but they decided that the market was " truer " if we stuck to nickles. The old nickle break was at $3.00 I believe. Those were the days. so much fun when you had a stock you played and owned under $3.00 go over three out of pennies, ride nickles up to $5.00 and then scoot up in a huge way trading .125 cents at a crack!! NOt that i had this happen too often! :o) sg
