Changes introduced to our stock trading tables this week are designed to make them easier to use while continuing to provide the most comprehensive listing of weekly stock quotations for mining securities and providing more space for mining news.
Because readers often know the name of a stock but not the exchange on which it trades, we have combined all stock trading into one table and listed them by company in alphabetic order. For interlisted stocks (those that trade on more than one exchange), the quote from the exchange on which it is most actively traded is used. The exchange from which a stock quote is taken is designated in the second column, after the company name.
Those stocks that did not trade during the week or traded less than 100 shares are included in a separate bid-and-ask table, again listed alphabetically regardless of exchange. Bid-and-ask quotes now also include a column giving the price of the last trade.
We have also introduced new summary tables that give the 10 most active issues during the week, the 10 issues that trade the greatest value, and the 10 that reported the greatest price swings in percentage terms either up or down.
Legend: Stocks that trade over $5 during the week are designated by $ before the high-trade column and are reported in eighths of a dollar; T-Toronto Stock Exchange; M-Montreal Exchange; V-Vancouver stock exchange; A-Alberta Stock Exchange.
