The Wilshire 5000 index covers the majority of public traded companies in the US. The index tracks over 6000 actual companies.\n\nThe index funds that track that usually buy a representative sampling of those companies. It would be too expensive and difficult to buy them all.\n\nCheck the NYSE, Amex, Nasdaq & pinksheets.com sites

Some foreign companies have their stocks listed on US stock exchanges. These stocks are classified under "ADR's" or American Depository Receipts. Or you can buy mutual funds that hold a portfolio of stocks. Also some brokers allow you the flexibility of buying foreign stocks which are specified with a ticker symbol. Figure out what you want to invest in, then go from there.

I do not believe that you can, but call Etrade and ask them if they have the ability. Many foreign stocks however are traded on the U S pink sheet if they are not traded on an exchange. A couple of other options open to you are to trade the foreign indexes or to trade the mutual funds that specialize in foreign markets.

I've been looking for years and haven't found one.  Also, I have found that many stocks can be immediately ruled out, unless you know more than me.  Some are traded infrequently, some have no information and some just don't make any sense to me.\n\nWhat I have found is that the question you should be asking is: "If I had a list of all of the stocks, what would I look for?"  That is where a stock screening program comes in.  Yahoo finance has one for free, and you can find a screener at almost any stock related site.  \n\nA screener will go through the list of stocks in that screener and, based on criteria you define, return a set of results.  Your criteria might be (volume > 100000) or (Price > 5) or (price > 52 week high).  For me, this is the best way to locate stocks that I would be interested in.\n\nI hope I interpreted your question correctly.  Good Luck

You have to search for each one by commodity and by geographic region.  Here's some links.  I have some other links but they're hard to get.  The best thing to do is to actually make the phone calls.
