I've been accumulating China/HK shares especially in the past 1 year, and I plan to continue doing this for the next few months. 

That's correct (if you can find a brokerage only only charge 0.01/share).

No other fee EXCEPT when you SELL (dispose).

When you sell, you will notice there is an additional small SEC fee.
Not exactly sure how much but it was a few cents per 100 shares..

Well, it's a little different and they don't use those terms: "nominee or direct CDS".
It is your own account as direct beneficiary and under your own name (equivalent to "direct CDS") but
the brokerage is custodian for holding your security (nominee).

Your name appears on the list of registered shareholders in electronic form (unless you elect physical paper certificates for an extra fee).  You have the right to vote, attend share holders meeting, etc.

Basically, if you're worrying about brokerage going default, just make sure you select one that
has SIPC protection, regulated by FINRA and SEC.

Your money is protected in those registered brokerages but not the investment value (as determined by market). 

It will be deposited as cash balance in your account AFTER that 30% withhold (if you filed yourself as non-resident on your W8BEN).

I had registered with Just2Trade.com
but had not loaded it yet.
Anyone had use this broker.
Is it ok?
I am attracted to it because of its low rate of just 2.50 per trade.
Thank you

I think one or two users here may have use it.
In addition to the low price, tell us if you like their tools or not (charting, research, streaming) etc.
Also, if the options tools or good or not.
