I agree with your points. That is why I believe some (like myself) only feel comfortable trading the shares (or the W's) rather than holding for the long term. Best, Wesley

Alegzis >>All companies foreign or otherwise that trade on the American exchanges must file with the SEC. The problem is that TISAF has filed with 'paper' rather than electronically. There is a way to have the SEC print the stuff and send it but that costs a little money. I'll do it if I can't find easier way. As I mentioned before, filing electronically is as easy (if not easier) then paper, so I'm not sure whats going on. I'll pass on info if I get it.<< The following is an e-mail I sent to the SEC and their reply. Hope this helps Emory Is there anywhere on this website where there's an explanation as to why Foreign company's filings aren't on Edgar? Thanks ________________________ Reply Separator___________________ Dear Mr. Emory: It's not laid out explicitly on the site. Unfortunately, a lot of the EDGAR documentation on the site was written with the registrants (that is, the companies who file) in mind, so a lot of the regulatory matters aren't laid out in full, because it is assumed that those who must file are familiar with the regulations (or their lawyers are, at any rate). We have a task on our "to do" list to rewrite all the EDGAR materials to make them more "average-citizen-friendly," but it may be deferred until the EDGAR II system comes on line. The exemption for foreign registrants, according to an EDGAR rules expert in the Division of Corporation Finance, is Rule 100(a) of Regulation S-T; see law.uc.edu To quote (in part): "...General Rules and Regulations for Electronic Filings Regulation S-T Rule 100 -- Persons and Entities Subject to Mandated Electronic Filing The following persons or entities shall be subject to the electronic filing requirements of this Regulation S-T. a.Registrants whose filings are subject to review by the Division of Corporation Finance, except for foreign private issuers and foreign governments; ..... " See also law.uc.edu which gives more details. I hope this helps! - Ruth Pitt Web Support - www.sec.gov
