QUOTE(foofoosasa @ Sep 12 2013, 06:03 PM) you hold many units ? I also think of whether to buy some or not. But first have to understand a bit samsung s5 vs Iphone 5s , figures out which one is the winner.... I only able to bought 1st batch at 425-435 range. So not much, only 2% weight in my portfolio. samsung s5 coming? end of the year? iphone 5S has nothing interesting on hardware. The only hope is its new iOS, wait for more reviews on this.

QUOTE U.S. President Barack Obama plans to name former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers as the next chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors, according to a report Friday by Japanese newspaper Nikkei, which cited unnamed sources. An announcement is expected as early as late next week, following the conclusion of the Fed's policy meeting on Wednesday. Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard, who served as an economic adviser under the Clinton administration, will likely be named the central bank's vice chairman, the Nikkei said. Summers would succeed Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, whose term expires in January. Summers and current Fed Vice Chairman Janet Yellen had been considered the front-runners to become the Fed's next chief.

Taper = US Economy gradually better .. Good for LONG-TERM investment ..
Not Taper = Still foresee some risk and near-zero interest and continue of QE.. Also good for equity..
Conclusion = Taper or Not, doesn't matter .. But Debt Ceiling?

Not sure abt popular broker.. But I used E-Trade, TradeKing and UBS .. Most importantly, cheap fee, friendly, easy functions and great alert/notification/alarm signals by emails/etc .. Seek Uncle Google 's help to make yr good deicision-making and judgement.

You need to have W8BEN form on file. AFAIK, there is no tax treaty between Msia and USA, so you should be excluded from the 30% withholding tax. However, I'm not sure how to claim it back as I'm not a resident of Msia. Maybe you need to file something at the IRS.
