The Vancouver Stock Exchange launched a new Web site service today which enables customers to purchase VSE publications and historical trade reports on-line with a credit card in a secure environment. The VSE is the first Canadian stock exchange to offer an Internet E-commerce solution for its publication and subscription services.

A wide variety of VSE information is now available for on-line purchase, including:

• Daily Trade Summary Reports
• Monthly Trade Reports
• Listed Company Directory
• Listed Company Contact Disk
• Daily Bulletins
• Net House Position Reports
• Trade-by-Trade Reports
• VSE Reviews
• Membership Directory of VSE Member Firms
• VSE Bylaws and Rules Manual
• Corporate Finance Policy and Procedures Manual

These products are available in a variety of distribution formats, including electronic on-screen reports, electronic data files for downloading, and traditional mail service.

This new Internet E-commerce option further enhances the VSE’s recently restructured Web site and is an example of the Exchange’s strong commitment to apply technology to its services.
