With the successful trial on Swiss shares, I tried to contact Taiwanese authorities for my TSMC dividend WHT refund but my request submission was rejected and could not be sent.

You guys can try here:

EDIT: I have successfully contacted the National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, MOF of ROC Taiwan. Will updates you guys when the I receive replies.

Alright, Taipei branch replied me and referred me to Hsinchu branch instead, where TSMC is located. So need to wait for next week for more updates.

Hi, I have reached the final verification stage and waiting for approval from IBKR side. I just want to ask, did you guys encounter the error message below during your application?

We're sorry, but we had to log you out and end your session. Either a problem occurred on our server or you were automatically logged out due to inactivity.

Received this message incessantly, and I had to alternately log in and log out during the whole stage of my application. A real frustrating experience. Any magic to stop this?

not interested all these ah...

ibkr tered leh...

Don't waste money on them. You want medical, go for the king. JnJ. Their options also not bad. Can earn around min 10%p.a via JnJ options. Was tempted but decided against it.

You do know you can enable OTC trading via IBKR right? That way you can buy stuff like tencent from us instead of HK. I would have buy my tencent in US if they had options. Unfortunately no options. Only available in HK hence I buy HK version.

Of the list only ASML is worth buying for me.

PSgoing to publish my options guide by next week hopefully.

hi , i have open IBKR account , but i am unsure where the IBKR based in.
IF the IBKR based in US , and my share is with HKEX , HK, will my dividend received will get withholding tax in US ? May i know how to swift the account to HK/Singapore and is it necessary?

Trust me I’ve done that. The old E-application and online account opening. I’ve been cockblocked so many times I can’t be bothered anymore. I’ve also went to all(two) the branches in my small city.

And also for the recent E-account opening they don’t allow new-to-bank customers to open online anymore. So everything still need to go physical bank.

Hi,

Planning to open IBKR account but does anyone know if IBKR can trade stock in IDX? Any suggestion apart from IBKR which platform can trade IDX?

Thanks TOS. Yes the fees is very much higher for local banks. Mb offer it as well but is a offline order and with hefty fees

hi, anyone know the commission/brokerage/fees that ibkr charges for ADR? is it the same as normal stocks? can't find it in their website. tq

Thanks for the links.

Thanks for the advice! Really appreciate it. Few cents ok la for small potato like me. Though not sure about the dividends.

Did anyone receive update emails from Wise about reduced fees?
Seems like good news, a reduction of ~8.8%.

Hi Sifus, any ideas or recommendations for which US stocks to invest on? Looking for high dividends which can generate some passive income in the long run~

A few weeks ago I saw a discussion about Swiss withholding tax and decided to claim a refund by using customised daily activity statement with ‘account details’, ‘withholding tax’ and ‘dividends’ on the day the dividend was paid instead of paying CHF 15 for a tax voucher. And today the extra tax withheld is transferred to my bank account.

However, I can’t guarantee that that will always work because after all, the activity statement is still not a proper tax voucher.

CODDK,....

If you already have investments in SG which are REITs and divvy stocks, then perhaps it is right that you look at earning dividends from instruments based in The USA too. And yes, if yuo do this,... you will have to look past the 30% dividend tax.

I'll provide some input here for I've been looking at this.

First point : Earning 6% or thereabout yield is better than earning zero yield on your US Dollar holdings, right ?

And after some thinking and researching,... I am looking at PFLT. I am looking at something called BDCs - Business Development Companies. Why don't you guys look these up in the net,... and give me your input too.

Now,... I've let out some ideas for Ramjade to go after,.... hehe,...
