Softbank is a Japanese company, they are similar so CMGI, have investments in numerous internet related companies. They can be bought here in 100 share lots. C. Schwab makes a market in the stock, they trade under the symbol SFTBF. You may need a regular broker instead of an online broker. Schwab buys shares in the Tokyo market overnight, there is a big difference between the bid and ask. I got cute last week and decided to put in a limit order on the advice of my broker, missed a big run up and ended up paying considerably more the next day. Debra
