To buy a 1000 shares of Bid.Com by calling the Green Line would cost me $0.04/share plus $35.00 commission. Now that I've got Green Line web broker, those same 1000 shares are a straight $0.03/share or $30.00. I just saw a commercial on CNBC TV where this guy bought some shares on the Internet at a cost of US$8.00 (Cdn. $12.00) and he said this was his first on-line transaction. Before that he said "it would have cost him US$200.00 per transaction from his broker.!!! That's the type of stuff (200.00 down to 8.00) that's going to get everyone excited in the stock market,the demand for shares will go through the roof.!!!!

InvestorLine Users... check this out: IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Friday, April 30 Due to the large number of orders on BII (Bid.Com Intl) and MCF (Microforum Inc), InvestorLine will only accept Market orders or Limit Orders with NO special terms until further notice. With such volatility, this is a very bad thing for InvestorLine clients. I'm surprised they'd go this far. Oh well, I'm not really up for discussion on the matter (too busy), but just thought I'd bring it to the attention of fellow InvestorLine users. Sorry if this has already been posted/discussed; I haven't been following this thread because of the huge volume of posts and the limited time I have available. Ben EDIT: Also, I noticed they only accept market or limit orders. Since limit orders aren't accepted online, it sounds like their new policy applies to phone-in orders as well.
