Ya well...that's also one thing with investing in foreign stock, currency becomes a factor.

Anyone registered with zecco??? I faxed through everything in it, with the W8-Ben form, part 2, which one applies to a foreigner living in malaysia?
Didn't the US government promised that citigroup will nver be nationalized???? What will be the factor if that happens?

So the W8-ben form, Part 2, what do I tick to avoid having 30% withholding tax on capital gains????

I don't want to invest in the states while risking to only sell above 30% gain.

I'm an Australian working here in Malaysia. Since I work here, I reside here for tax purpose right?? I do'nt have to pay tax to Australia if I don't have any local income there i suppose
