I had trouble finding Canadian stocks at first too. And the worst part was finding a Canadian company that trades on both US and CDN exchanges. There's a lot of those, especially the ones we always hear about, cause their generally the bigger, more successful companies. I'm not a savvy enough investor to know which would be a better buy, or what the differences would be, when one company is on two exchanges.

I bought one mining stock that was on both exchanges. At least both stocks seem to follow each others direction somewhat similarly. Sold both yesterday for a gain.

My goto on the Canadian exchange has been to short BB. But that went in the opposite direction on me yesterday. Oh well, time to dollar cost average it. I wonder if they still call it the same thing when you're buying to short, instead of buying to own.
