hello everyone nice to meet you guys.. I am very interested in getting US stock and I check around this forum but couldnt find an article/guide on how to purchase US stock.. Maybe thats because i still dont know what are the common keyword used in this industry. but nevertheless, may i know how do you guys purchase the US stocks? Any reputable brokers to recommend? (or can we purchase directly)

u will find some good info if u look up the links provided in this thread:

ya, some rain after a long drought!


was going to take some profit on inverse crude, then this happened!

guess i hv to wait for the technicians and engineers to fix the malfunction.

In Monday's session, gasoline futures jumped about 3 percent, heading for its largest daily gain in a month, after BP's 240,000 barrel per day crude distillation unit at its Whiting, Indiana, refinery, was shut by a malfunction on Saturday, sources familiar with operations at the plant said.

oil rebounding n i cant see any reasons? or is it a technical rebound after getting smashed for a long while?

touched 44 low, gotta technical rebound a bit loh otherwise machines no rice eat already if can't show off their power .

well... it has been falling and falling, some rebound takes very little.

a bomb blast in instanbul plus a us refinery broke down - that's all it took to push it up 2-3%.

can't see it go up much further.

haha. agree.
we saw low of 43+ anad wish i have the facility to short it, but none wor.

the downtrend is intact.

it may just drop like a stone anytime!

anyway, some good reading - of currencies, commodities and emerging markets:

Waah.. more power to the dollar with the rmb devaluation. More pressure for ringgit to go down even more.
Heck.. I'll wait till 4.1x then before next weekend trip to JB.

it took only a short time to get to 4.0.

crude crashing faster than the rm!

Newbie in the house =) Would like to ask, is there a safer way to transfer the fund to the online brokerage site like Interactive Broker ( IB ), or I should test it with 100, the subsequently bigger amount? I checked the website but couldnt comprehend firmly, so any sifu here with IB account can shed some light as for fund transfer how it works?

Besides the W- 8BEN form is just for declaration of tax so just confirm can already right? Thanks alot sifu =)

IB matters:
