Edit: Goldstand: Just check C's, J's, D's. They are all depositories. K's from Wamu are the same, depository. None are ADRs.
I also check Etrade again, I do not see such a disclaimer.
Sorry, I do not know what else to tell you, BUT I am 100% sure they are not connected to any foreign entity.
Goldstand: The only ADR that comes to mind is Alcatel Lucent. That is an ADR for sure since I handled communications with the transfer agent regarding a transfer of ADRs.
I have e-trade as well. I did not see and disclaimer, but I can assure you that LEHJQ are not ADRs. 100% sure of that.
Vikingzskillz: That is great that you are diversified.
Starnes: CTs are debt and need to representation from an EC. They are well protected depending on seniority and funds/assets available for distribution.
I am out of posts for today. Good luck all.
Thanks.
