Paul, Thanks. I tried Fido and the automatic response was: "This security is not available for electronic trading via retail channel. For more information please contact the Fidelity representative." I have not tried to talk to Fido representative yet.

Korea versus Japan <g> The chart below shows the korean Won versus the Japanese Yen ratio for the last 5 years. No wonder the Koreans are winning the export battle, their Won is down almost 60% versus the Yen. it seems that either the Yen is very overvalued or the Won undervalued - I suspect it's a combination of both. My conclusion would be to invest in Korean companies with a domestic business (like retail, insurance companies, probably banks), so one would benefit from a rising Korean currency, without getting into trouble (at least not directly) because exports would wane or become less profitable.
