"hyundai for example...really wished I'd own this stock" I looked closer now because I have posted in past how difficult it was for me to actually buy any Hyundai -- it didn't trade -- or rarely traded(http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HYMLF) -- on the pink sheets. (And buying anything on the Korean market I found to be too tough --- brokerage fees/middleman fees/exchange fees make small buys not worth it.) Turns out I appear to be wrong --- I don't know how I missed it, but the company shares seemingly can be bought as HYMTF. Thinly-traded, but available, according to Yahoo: finance.yahoo.com ------------ Korean companies seem to me to dominate the USA in so many sectors. Perhaps it's combo of government trade policies, Korean mindset to "buy Korean", their focus, education, bribery/ business practices, infrastructure, conglomerations - whatever -- but they seem to be decimating the USA in many sectors. I am holding a few shares of EWY. I bought it because it was the only way I could figure to buy some Hyundai. Also get Kia, Samsung, LG in appliances. (Of course, also get, typically, some companies I don't know about or would prefer not to own, e.g. steel manufacturer Posco). finance.yahoo.com ---------- If I could find and understand what Hyundai's p/e, balance sheet look like, I might be more enthusiastic about buying the stock. Especially if the p/e were to be as low as for GM or F. As it is, I'm becoming more concerned about my shares in GM (and I also have F). I may just swap out some GM for HYMTF. Not sure where GM is in having product that consumers want. With Hyundai though -- apparently the company can't meet the demand for its cars: autoblog.com
