If the National Post has it right, they reported, and I am going from memory here, that at the request of RIM a large Canadian investor (institutional) sold about 4.???mm shares which were then crossed to US institutions which then became the Nas float. IMO the price went up then down account US markets down combined with a large block of stock that was available to be distributed. This all occurred the day before RIM started trading on the Nas. Haven't looked but it is possible if you went to the NP web site and inquired about RIM this could be confirmed. GJP

First Service Corporation (FSRV)was interviewed by Investor Online January 30th. They I think were the first to request the removal of the "F" if memory serves me right. There claim for the removal was that they felt it had a negative effect on trading there stock. Nasdaq agreed. Here's the site to view the interview. Go to January 30th and click on your modem speed. You'll need Real Audio. To save time drag the scroll bar 2/3 rds down the bar. ioltv.com
