829.0. "Investment questions" by TROU45::D_CHENG () Tue May 17 1994 19:02

Lately a securities firm is soliciting a company called Q&A Communications Inc
which they claim that it price will jump up when they close their in June. The
company is a major player in Verbatim (court)reporting and their stocks are
traded thro Canadian Dealing Network.

1. What is Canadian Dealing Network? Where can I get price quotes from this
network?

2. How can I find how reputable that securities firm is? (BBB???)

I just requested an annual report from Q&A Communications and will look into
what this company does but I though all stock trading is done thro stock
exchange in major cities, is this true.

    Try the Ontario Securities Commision for info about the dealer.
    There have always been "over-the-counter" stocks that were traded
    outside the stock exchange system. The NASDAQ system in the US is an
    OTC dealing network, not a stock exchange in the tradional sense, I
    suspect the Canadian Dealing Network is a mini-NASDAQ.
