Depository Receipt
A depositary receipt is a negotiable financial instrument issued by a bank to represent a foreign company's publicly traded securities

Depositary receipts make it easier to buy shares in foreign companies because the shares of the company don't have to leave the home state The first ADR was introduced by J.P. Morgan in 1927 for the British retailer Selfridges.

A DR is a negotiable instrument issued by a U.S. depositary bank evidencing ownership of shares in a Non-U.S. corporation. Each DR denotes Depositary Shares (DSs) representing a specific number of underlying shares on deposit with a custodian in the issuer’s home market. The term “DR” is commonly used to mean both the physical certificate and the security itself. DRs are generally quoted and traded in $US and are subject to the trading and settlement procedures of the market in which they trade. The ease of trading and settling DRs makes them an attractive investment option for investors wishing to purchase securities issued by companies outside the investor’s home market.

DRs can be publicly offered, privately placed or issued pursuant to a global offering.

    I parked my car on Devon Avenue in front of Shore Galleries and took a quick glance through the car window. Shore Galleries sign was attached to the building above the main entrance and windows were completely tinted. Shore Galleries was located next to a dry cleaning business. Unless you knew the nature of business of Shore Galleries, not many people would realize that Shore Galleries is a firearms store with an indoor gun range. I sat in my car for a few minutes to clear my head and thought about things that I should pay a closer attention to once I get inside.…

The political system is simple; it operates with limited information (rational ignorance), short time horizons, low feedback, and poor and misaligned incentives. Society in contrast is a complex, evolving, high-feedback, incentive-driven system. When a simple system tries to regulate a complex system you often get unintended consequences.” (1)…
