"Pimping around the World"--How?

[zyzzyva57]

For example, if you were like me and see Crammer's "pimping around the world" and wondered how you buy such stocks, take a look at this article on this as well as buy-backs and common vs Preferred stocks:

Reader: Recently, Jim Cramer has been recommending a lot of stocks that trade on foreign exchanges. Is there a discount broker that will let you do this? How about one that will let you do it online? -- M.L.

GG: Unfortunately, most discount brokers do not allow their customers to buy and sell stocks on international exchanges just yet. So if the "Mad Money" man highlights a stock that trades solely on a foreign exchange -- not an ADR -- you may be out of luck. (ADRs, or American Depositary Receipts, are foreign stocks that are listed on U.S. exchanges.)
