It is still pretty difficult for the average investor to access foreign stock exchanges. Sure we have ADR's, but most online brokers don't let us trade right through, say the London Stock Exchange or in Hong Kong. Lo and behold, Fidelity's push into discount broking. Their account package is affordable, provides some 3rd-party research, and for those who want to invest in foreign exchanges without paying fund management fees, they also provide foreign market access. Another step towards investment democratization.
