Both are right. Choices trades primarily in Canada in Canadian dollars. Stockhouse will give you both C$ and US$ quotes. See the currency converter box in the lower right portion of the quote screen.

I use the US$ quote to get a reasonable idea of the bid/ask in US$ so I can make my bid in US$ when I want to buy.

We care about how much we get in US$ when we sell the stock. So eventually the US$ quote is most important. You can call Ameritrade and ask them for a current quote. Ameritrade doesn't update during the day on these canadian stocks with a pink sheet symbol. They only update at the end of the day and sometimes not then. I keep track of my portfolio by setting up a Yahoo portfolio. I use the canadian symbol for Choice, cze.v. Yahoo will list the C$ price but will convert it to US$ when adding up the portfolio values. A little confusing but that's part of the price of finding a bargain. These are some of the reasons why Choice is undervalued. Not the most convenient stock to track or trade. Let me know if you have more questions. Bobwins

Please post stock symbols first in all your posts. If it's a foreign stock, please list the US pk equivalent symbol.
