The first link you posted doesn't work, but I imagine they give the listing numbers for both the TSX and TSX Venture (junior companies, less stringent listing requirements)

The last point is self-explanatory and mentions the strongest benefits of being listed - attractive to institutional investors, coverage by analysts, possiblity of being part of a market index, and an efficient marketplace.

the first four points make sense to me but the last one is confusing

what exactly does it mean when they say "A well-regulated and fully automated marketplace".

could you please elaborate a bit more on this point as I dont get it mainly because I have never even visited a stock exchange :confused: .

and i figured out the first one and its 1598 + 2080 :razz:

Regulated and automated mean there are rules the listed companies must follow. This can mean maintaining a certain minimum share price, market cap and trading volume. This is done to enhance liquidity and reputation of the companies that trade on the exchange.

Automated means the trading is performed mainly by computers, and not some physical trading floor you might have in mind.
