  • Climate Exchange: Uniquely Positioned to Benefit Carbon Credit Trading Expansion [View article]
    You would probably need to open a global stock trading account with E*TRADE to buy shares of Climate Exchange (London: CLE). Many of the smaller ex-US stocks don't trade often or at all even if you find a pink sheet ticker such as CXCHY.

    However, while E*TRADE offers investors the opportunity to invest in foreign markets such as London and others; my own experience with this system is disappointing.
