X1 - thats interesting. My broker is Hargreaves Lansdown. I tried to put my holding into my maxi-isa by claiming that it is also listed on Frankfurt. It is not a loophole but any holdings listed on any main market can be put in an Isa. I do have Ceva within my Isa and it is listed in USA.
However, Hargreaves claim that the rule is where the company's registered, which is UK for Desire. I did find that odd. Now following your dealings with TD, I will re-approach H-L.... I do want to shelter these...However, I cant until April as my allowance this year was taken up by Qxl (the biggest riser of 2005, rising 3000%, in my case from mid-2004)...
Thanks again, will let everyone know what H-L say...
Good Luck
