lentinman: the price quotes in SSKILLZ1's list are in local currency. So for the Canadian securities there is a currency conversion factor of approximately 1.1606 .... for BGH.V the starting price was C$2.04 ... for US$1000 one can buy 1.1606 x 1000/2.04 shares = 568.92 rather than just 490.2 shares.
