Thank you Dubi - that was too parochial of me. You are absolutely right and I apologize.
One of the reasons I started this board is that even though I have decades of investing experience, I feel that I am learning daily. My experience with Canadian and foreign stocks is limited and I welcome comments from those from the entire world <ggggg> and maybe even the next one......
PS - as an aside, how difficult is it for you to trade US stocks. Do you use US brokers or local?
