Does Public Bank offer services to trade US stocks?
*
Only CIMB invest offers online services in the country. (RM40++ per trade).

The cheapest US brokers are Sogotrade (USD3 / free 100 trades) and Just2Trade (USD2.5).

For beginner, you may use Sogotrade.

But if you only want to buy once buy a lot and sell it a few years later, you can use CIMB invest.

i have a bunch of friend in singapore,
they ask me how will you sure sogotrade wont burst as they claim even though they are sipc insured, will they still exist after 50yrs.
this group of friend that i know of is long term investor, they are investing in jnj, pg, ko, kft,mo,rai,xom.
so they need some secure in there place they keep their stock.
there is no doubt it have happen many time in usa that many brokerage that broke their manage sold their client share and hide somewhere in tahiti island.
so that sipc have to act to compensate all investor,
sorry to tell that the last time indymac that went down it took them forever for that fund to be paid to any investor.

this is a attachement to open a usa habc premier account with share trading facilities.
the trick is you need at least 100,000 usd to open this account.
but i believe for those in this circle is a peanut.
you will get a check books. debit card and hsbc premier mastercard for free ,as long you mantain 100,000usd at any time.
ontop of those you can establish a hsbc premier account in singapore hongkong australia or uk once you are premier customer.
sound good?
after all if hsbc does collapse i believe that none of the financial institution wont face any trouble

Added on November 29, 2009, 11:11 ammalaysia cimb la maybank la all pretty safe too but where is your check book, debit card or mastercard?
after all their credit card not user friendly as hsbc is global.
if you are a frequent traveller try hsbc premier.
*
well, i have my credit card, debit card and cheque book with local banks.
I think CIMB invest is quite safe, but you have to pay higher brokerage fees.
yupe, your USD100k is quite large, don't risk yourself as USD25 does not mean anything to you.

For us, we are playing peanuts.

Mind to share about "indymac "?

it does not matter what broker u use, you need to keep an eye on your trade. If you want to be a day trader, ensure min $25,000 in your account.

Safe Investment Rules:
===============

1) Don't put all eggs in a basket.
2) Don't trade something you are not familiar.
3) Buy on dip and sell on rally. (This needs experiences)
4) Cut loss and take profit at pre-determined range.
5) Invest using only those money you do not need to feed yourself and you family.

wateva i rekomen, u oso dun wan, since all tak familiar, haha... so how u wan to roller kokster   rolleyes.gif
roller kokster got exciting & tidur type, happy finding  nod.gif
food for thoughts

If not roller coaster, have to wait long.. sleepy. sweat.gif

The rules still apply. Must observe for some times before entering... smile.gif

how long u need to observe a stock b4 enter? 4 or 8 days / weeks / months?
in the 1st place, how was ur criteria met to even consider lvs, c, mgm?
how long u observe them & was their FA ok?
the lvs, c & mgm has been range trading for so long
sooner or later, will move in 1 direction
u better hope zaman wish not come true, otherwise, u know which direction it go lah
who knows? maybe it is a roller kokster just like the tidur spar
*
At least a few days.. observing the historial graphs and see whether got bad news or not.
Then check its business, financial status. Once it falls to the dip, buy it. then set a target price to sell.

We still dunno when the rally will break, but beware of Dubai events, now nothing shown up yet, but eventually some companies might have bad news, make sure you never buy these stocks..

I think if MGM still big dip today, it will be worth to buy.. wink.gif enjoy...
