The company is private and registered in Quebec. I would like to sell low-value shares internationally. To make small investments feasible, we'd like to not have to print out physical certificates and mail them. Could we act as our own transfer-agent and say that our shares are "book entry shares" ? In the ideal scenario, we wouldn't have to send a physical certificate, and what we'd send electronically would serve simply as a receipt.

I think it is cheaper to transport goods by rail than road. Maybe the trains are powered by oil, so fuel costs rise, but the railroads become more competitive because it is expensive to run trucks also.
So, what's the answer? Are high oil prices good or bad for railroad stocks.

Everyone says it's attributed to the carry trade collapse. I just don't see a fundamental correlation to that. Are a majority of stock buyers also carry trade investors?

I have been writing in my hedge fund blog called the Richard Wilson Hedge Fund Blog for several months now. I have about 75 people/day coming to read my articles but I'm not sure who they are.

My question is, does the general public have an interest in learning more about hedge funds even if they will never want to or be qualified to invest in them? I'm trying to figure where most of my web traffic will be coming from in the future. It might be that I never get a HUGE following on my hedge fund blog simply because most people invest in stocks and mutual funds.

If you want to see who I am or what my hedge fund blog looks like first they are online at

There was an infomercial on this software that was pretty much idiot proof that anyone could use to trade stocks online and do business research. Does anyone remember what the name of the program was called?

(Don't give names like Ameritrade, Scotts, or any of those, because I'm sure it wasn't as popular as those)

I am a beginner experimenting on the virtual stock exchange, and I read somewhere about a guy who tested out how well the penny stocks mentioned in spam emails do in the long run. He tested about 37 and in about two months his portfolio had already dropped 52%. So, the point of the article was to tell people to stay away from such scams. I was curious, however, as to whether it is a good idea to short sell these stocks after the build up. Please share your opinions, and also, if you happen to know how to get such spam mail (as funny as this sounds), would you mind sharing it with me?

a question for any options-knowledgeable people out there...

let's say i'm convinced a stock is going down, and i want to use this to my advantage. however:
- i cannot short the stock
- i am NOT concerned about leveraging my investment (i.e. i can easily afford 1/3 to 1/2 the stock price)

is the best strategy to pick put options that are far in-the-money ( which have deltas close to 1 ) to just follow the stock down?

are there other repercussions of picking these more expensive options, like tax conserations?

Inexperienced trader seeking for experienced traders' input: (Thanks in advance for your time)

It was 10/18 - before 1:00am - when I placed an online order to buy ONT with limit $1.20 each. I got it for $1.16 - the highest ONT trading rate for the day - even at 10:30 am east - when I called my broker to ask why I got the shares at the highest rate:

1) Broker said AMEX trading hours for ONT have not really started at 9:30am.
2) The charts on broker site show the AMEX opening hours: 9:30 am/ Opening price for about 4 minutes: $1.07/share and it did not jump right away to $1.16.
3) I did not order to buy the shares before the AMEX opening hours. But my broker said it is how AMEX deals with the orders.
4) Broker also said that if I had placed an order to sell, it would
get processed immediately. Since I placed the order to buy, it didn't get thru so fast.

Is here any trading sense from his say or he forgot to add key words?
