Sorry, I called Fidelity on the phone. I was told this BDCMF was handled on the mainframe (I took this to mean that everything else is not) and that nothing is available but the last bid/ask. I think she said this system is going to change... eventually. I agree, it feels like going blind. (MP probably has a fat Bridge system to get quotes and subscribes to many international exchanges and, better yet, passes the cost on to his clients via softdollar arrangements.) I have a call into bid.com to confirm that BDCMF is the American broker symbol for BII.TO. If it is, and not an ADR, then we can just pull up BII.CO on Yahoo! for 15 minute delayed quotes. Once I confirm what I am buying I will join the party, though I question how easy it is going to be to hype a stock that is so hard to trade. So far, this tulipmania had two sides, (1) internet-consumer business models and (2) e-trading. Bid.com only has the former, IMHO. But MP said that going above $5 would help them get an American listing....
