Hi I was just wondering: Can you put a US Business on the Toronto Stock Exchange?

Answer 1

Yes. I used to own stock in a US mining company that was traded on the Toronto exchange.

A company can decide to sell their stock on any exchange they want. The Specific exchanges might have criteria that a company must meet. So in the end some exchanges may be out of reach, but if Microsoft wanted to move to the Toronto exchange they could.

Many local and foreign exchanges do not have the degree of oversight or the regulatory requirements of the major US exchanges (New York, AMEX and NASDAQ). They are plenty of international companies on these exchanges.
