yes but good luck with that. there were serious deadlines for u.s. and canadian investors. you had to be accredited investor and fill out specific paperwork and get it back to your broker by a certain time. In addition you would be getting restricted which you cannot trade for a year i believe. I was theoretically entitled to rights in accounts at fidelity, ameritrade, and scottrade. scottrade was completely clueless, fidelity was very rigid so much so that it wasnt worth pursuing for the amount of rights i was entitled to. i had to spend several hours dealing with ameritrade staff to finally i hope qualify. at least I learned something . I will not be so quick to move more funds to fidelity and i will definitely be parting ways with scottrade.
