It seems that Motley should offer us some suggestions on purchase if they are recommending a stock.

We're sorry for the difficulty some have had accessing L&T shares. That said, we do generally check to make sure anything we recommend is able to be bought. Unfortunately, we tend to check at our own brokers (I use Ameritrade, for example) and the level of service does differ from broker to broker.

Also, when picking things for special reports and for the wild card page in the monthly issue, we feel we have a little more latitude in terms of buy-ability since they are extra picks. Our formal recommendations are always either major exchange-listed or verifiably liquid over-the-counter/pink sheets listings.
