.. the Israeli Stock Exchange? Other than what comes up on Google, has anyone ever traded on this stock exchange, or know how to find information on a company that is supposedly traded there?

I did some trading on another overseas exchange, and found it was much easier to just use a full service broker than to try the usual online ones.  Since I already had a relationship established, it was reasonably painless but still slow.

[as a customer]

This last week, I've done a whole lot better as a customer than as a stockholder.  There's something seriously wrong there...

Problem is, if I bet more and my luck changes... I'm screwed big time.  I do view it like buying oil stocks, so at least my dividend check pays for gas.

nothing whatsoever to do with the Israeli Stock Exchange!

I guess it's a Jewish Holiday today, maybe tomorrow would be a better day to ask this question??

I am going to check with a few people in a little while after they get home from synagogue... I believe i can provide you a few contacts with knowleadge of the subject.
Check your email tomorrow evening... (before Friday sundown lol)

Israeli law dealing with patents and IP, commercial activities and their view of foreign investment makes Harrahs look like a solid gold sure thing (as either a customer or an investor).  Seriously, why would you do that with a country that in all seriousness, is difficult businesswise?  I am not saying that you would not make money - if you are both skilled and lucky - but it would consume  you in terms of time and effort - not a good bet.... You're too smart for this!  You could also help the poor widow from Nigeria!

SEC looking over them, and the usual approach is "buyer beware".   Any accountant can tell you that there are a million ways to distort financials, and even in the USA it's better to understand that you are small fry signing over your money to a corporate manager - and don't even think about working with a crook, I mean broker.

SEC watching them, and any accountant can tell you there are a thousand ways to twist financials.  You do understand what the fuss with Martha Stewart was about, and why insider trading is a bad thing?   Insider trading is the RULE in foreign markets, not the exception.

Bad enough to be a Lone Ranger on Wall Street, but an outsider is sausage on the hoof in a foreign securities market.  Better just send your money to me.   I'll take you to TJ, and spend a little of it on some stuff for you.

... that I am planning to invest in the Israeli Stock Exchange, I want to clarify the purpose of my original post.

A friend of mine is considering an offer of employment from a local San Diego company whose parent is a company listed on the Israeli Stock exchange, and I am just trying to help by requesting info about that exchange. That's it, and that's all!  

I have no plans to squander my fortune(!!) on the Israeli Stock Exchange, but I do appreciate everyone's responses and words of caution.
