= SUMMARY =

MSN Investor provides only quote details for non-U.S. securities.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To research a foreign security, use the following methods:


 * If a foreign security is traded on a domestic (U.S.) exchange, type the ticker symbol to retrieve the quote information from the domestic exchange (if applicable), reflected in U.S. dollars.
 * If you want to retrieve the value from the foreign exchange, you must type the country code with the ticker symbol. For example, to look up the share price of the German automobile manufacturer BMW, type “de:bmw” (without the quotation marks).

The following table lists the countries and codes that Investor uses:
