thanks, i actually just called ameritrade to see if i could buy the canadian version, broker said no, said it's the same stock, compared it to sony, said that more people may buy it in japan thus the price higher, anyway it's basically over my head, interesting to hear you say that nosof has been higher before, i've been in since dec, and has been lower the whole time, so do you think chances are slim of what the wells fargo rep told joemama, that not may make 5 dollars and nosof not go up at all? sorry to be redundant, that statement just scared me a little
