Well try this, it worked for me a couple of times--- put the symbol in without the dot or following characters. I think yahoo automatically forwards to the "." and retrieves the info -sometimes- and if the stock is below $2 then you can't trade it here regardless, and more than 90% of the people that try to trade these super low grade non-reporting stocks lose their a$$ anyways. You can trade OTC BB whatever as long as it is worth at least $2. Be advised many online trading platforms don't support foreign stock exchanges and or .pk's pink sheets, it's just too much trouble explaining to people why they lost their retirements when they got a hot tip in a e-mail (always a scam) to purchase some such garbage stock. To say THIS SUCKS is quite offensive too bad you didn't really spend much time looking around here to see what you could learn but, your probably destined to throw your money away anyway so good luck to you and don't when it's all gone.  |

AHHH yes it can suck, but you can look at it two ways. Think of all those stocks that are "ON SALE" blue light special on wall street. Pick a resistance level and get ready to buy buy buy! |

GIVE THAT LADY A CUPEE DOLL! And then see Forum Topic "Back in the Market". Pick your targets and somewhere (I believe) between now and July... step in! Ya' gotta' buy stuff when no one else wants it if you want to make money. Ask Warren Buffet When they're running scared, you run to the broker. When they're paying premium prices for So So stuff, get your wheelbarrow and take your money and run to the bank. It ain't rocket science but it does take a bit of practice. This is an EXCELLENT place to practice. I've learned alot of stuff in the last 6 months from all the folks here. I had never before done small caps or international, and now I'm a veteran of both. But in this market, I've backed up to my old stand by...which is where "Back in the Market" comes in. |

| An interesting side note is that a lot of Canadian stocks are listed with a .TO ending (toronto stock exchange) on Yahoo! Finance. |

Somethin else that confuses me.
why does Ben want 12768 e$ for a Shack and 12768 e$ for an entire Forest or 1058 e$ for an entire barren desert. This is a real big brain teaser for me. |

Housing generally costs more than the land it sits on.  |
