e-trade is simpler. you can even have a current/cheque account. You can ask for Cheque book. On top of that, you can have a debit card to cashout your fund thru local ATM.

Or simply issue E-trade US cheque and credit at local bank (cheaper but slower)

I heard about Motley Fool's stock advisor. Since I'm not into US market, so its worthless to subscribe it.

Well, check with their helpdesk. Basically, you need to wire the fund to their bank account. Use maybank TT to do it, fast and cheap too.
The same like withdrawal, you can request to wire the fund to your account (mind you the charges is killing, ie USD$25-35, depends)
Then need to convert base currency, ie USD or EURO to your local currency, lose again.

Not to mention the buy/sell brokerage fee, and hidden fees. But what scary about NYSE/DJIA is a share can jump 15-30% or fall by the same. In Malaysia, for example when counter like DIGI posted and announced 200-300 million and beat the market analyst, DIGI oni jump 2-3%.

When you calculate the time, effort, in the end might as well you pump a lot of fund and buy strong fundamental shares in Malaysia KLSE.
For example DIGI, NESTLE, BAT, PETRONAS, SIME, IOI.

All the best man!

AIG +4% @ 14.07
BAC +3% @ 16.10

FLASH NEWS

Rumors are circulating that a merger of Nokia Siemens Networks and Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) would make a lot of sense.

British online gaming group PartyGaming plc (NASDAQ:PRTY) said on Tuesday it agreed to buy WPT Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:WPTE), known as World Poker Tour, for $12.3 million in cash.

VONAGE HOLDINGS CORP
(NYSE: VG) , for 2nd day running..

VONAGE HOLDINGS CORP : doing VOiP business, but the run was actually sparks by:

confirmed that demand has been high for its new $24.99 flat rate Vonage Global plan that includes unlimited call to more than 60 countries. The company also confirmed that it plans to enter the mobile application market. Experts comments : With this rate, you are looking at 9 million subscribers over a year quadrupling the growth

From what I have been hearing, new subscriptions have jumped to 25000 a day

nope, I only target few counters, all below $5 for long term growth as well as speculation.

Waiting for my account to be approved, so that I can start trading. KLSE is now a boring place.

which counter / one pullback? nothing..
AIG skyrocketing, up 30$ in 3 weeks?

C is up as well. Expecting it to fall below $4.50 today, but recover yesterday's drop.

Added on August 27, 2009, 10:11 pmwith this rate, AIG can reach $100 by year end. Seems cannot stop running.

yes, you can buy 1 share, but that won't justify the commission you paid.

Say C buy at 4.75+ comm 3.95 = $8.70

Properly, you should get at least 100 share (100x4.75 = 475 or RM1,700) or get 500 shares at one shot

good idea.

Most broker have the option to re-invest the Div earned.

Crazy trading of C: just shoot 20c

now $50, almost $12

Faster flying.. AIG ohhh

people keep screaming that the worst is not over, some quarters says its already the bottom, some says its recovering.
But deep down, everyone knows that the recovery is not yet happening. But
DOW on BULL mode, stock flying. Seems all the bears are killed for "SURE".

click BUY AIG.

After hours :
C + 10c
AIG + 0.56c
BAC +0.06
CIT + 0.09c
FRE +0.02c
FNM -0.01c
GE +0.04c (was -12c then close +0.08)
DELL +0.48 (Profit down, but share soar??)

Suggest that its RALLY still.

wahlau, everything up in Pre-Market

DELL, GE, AIG, C

Citi up 22cts to 5.27.

All share everyday up, when are they coming down??

depends on your broker. MBTrading can see pre-market.

AIG leading the table +2.36
C +0.24

My account will be okay to trade Thursday/Friday next week

i believe they allow, but not entirely sure. Because I already have a FOREX account with them.
