Instead of trading pink sheet stocks this is another option

I don't have an account with them (yet)

Interesting. So, presumably this is an easy way to buy shares trading on the Stockholm Exchange? Can you pretty much buy shares trading on any foreign exchange through IB?

E*Trade has a similar facility for trading foreign stocks on the home exchange, but I’ve never used it. One concern is that the asset protection from SIPC and/or private insurance may be less robust than the protection you get in your “regular” brokerage account.
