Buying SNO.V is easy for me. I use TD Amritrade as my online broker. They give SNO.V an American symbol too...SWFCF.
I simply type in how many shares I want to buy, then, (next column down), SWFCF, then "limit" for type of price, then the price I want to pay (as of right now...no more than .015 Canadian or .014 U.S.).
Then I submit the "submit" button and voila, i buy the shares.
IMPORTANT!!! You should ALWAYS know exactly how many shares are on the "BID" side and how many on the "ASK" side for SNO.
I call my TD Amritrade broker up, tell him to put his Canadian screen on his computer and ask him for the bid and ask prices on SNO in American money AND also I tell my rep. that I want to know how many shares on the bid side and on the ask side.
Hope that helps someone. :)
