Hi there, I want to know are there any service available to buy foreign stock through local CDS accounts? Stocks like those in US (Amex, Nasdaq etc)

Yeah, how to do that?

Dollar will soon enter hyperinflation mode and that's the best time to grab falling daggers.

-edit-

Open an account here, https://us.etrade.com/e/t/home , wire in some cash and buy directly online.

Thanks for the link, Polaris. Will check it out.

How much do you think would be enough to put into US stocks?

another question is the tax rate of investing US stock market...

is the tax rate different with Malaysia??

Eg: higher tax rate for foreign investor, capital gain tax rate...

Non USA residents are subjected to a withholding tax of 30% on dividend. Capital gain no tax.

What I knew US residents are being charged 15% on capital gain tax, are you sure on the capital gain tax on foreigners? If it is, then foreigners has advantage over the US residents already.

how about investing in china stock market...
how can we invest at there......?
now the stock market has dropped more than 50% already...

seem like so attractive.... i am very interested on china stock market...

beside that ,any suggestion on china stock market...

The Chinese market has undergone a roller coaster ride and has since dropped 50% after it hit historical high in November 2007.

I am predicting that with the current growth rate and inflation, the Chinese stocks will begin to slow down as global output slows due to the lack of demand in the US.

After the Olympics, the Chinese output will slowly decrease, or maybe rapidly?

Bare in mind, drop 50% doesn't mean it is cheap already. Others may be drop only 15%, but in term of stock valuation, they (the one drop 15%) might be cheaper than the one drop 50%.

Mainly because China stocks are bubbling previously.

Yes, the market valuations are over inflated.

Not to mention that China has been subsidizing fuel at USD$2.90. What will happen when the government removes the subsidy?

It does not necessary to trade US shares through online trading. You can trade US shares through interbroke such as OSK. i am an equities dealer for OSK investment bank. Currently, there are hundreds over people opened trading accounts with me just to trade AIG and citigroup shares. Some other client even looked into shares such as MENGNIU listed in Hongkong that has high potential of growth in future. Interbroke services are safe and efficient.
