Common Stock vs. Depositary Receipt : Which is better to invest in?

[jwblue]

I want to invest in a German company.

In my TD Ameritrade account, the company is listed as both two different investments:


Common Stock listed on OTC Markets Group Inc -


Depositary Receipt listed on OTC Markets Group Inc International Premier QX

Their stock prices are nearly identical.

Which is better to invest in?

Someone told me that it is the depository receipt would be preferable since the foreign

shares are collateralized within a US Banking entity.

Does that sound right?
