According to this site, the pickings are slim indeed.

Shimano traded in the US back in 2000, then delisted. They are still traded on the Nikkei Exchange (7309 JP) is the symbol according to their web site. Foreign investments are a pain unless the company can be traded as an ADR, which Shimano doesn't seem to be, so you have to go through a broker licensed to trade in Japan. The possible foreign tax snafu's alone would steer me away from any stock bought on a foreign exchange unless it was about to flip the switch for its afterburners.

Cannondale is almost a trend traders dream. Its chart looks like an oscilloscope read out. At an average of 6 cents/share, you could make a fortune buying and selling eleventy kazillion shares whenever it moves a nickel. Problem is trying to trade that many shares with such a low daily volume.
