Quote from Booker007:
An American depositary receipt (ADR) is a stock that trades in the United States but represents a specified number of shares in a foreign corporation.
The only thing with ADR's that I see is missing news if these foreign companies report them late....
I question the role of the specialist in the opening of an ADR. How is he supposed to maintain an orderly market if the stock is influenced by some other forces from other exchanges (and probably by arbitrageurs too).
Quote from Lear:
Is CI a ADR? CI is my today's big loser, exit too early....at the lowest point....
Thanks
No, it's not. Have a look at google finance: http://www.google.com/finance?q=CI. If it was an ADR, it would be specified there.
