Thanks for the reply. Tried a few of the links.Interactive was the only one I got to work that did not require me to be a US resident, although they were charging a monthly fee. I would not be an active trader and not warrant signing up for that.
It is also expensive to go through an Irish broker although no stamp duty payable.
There is an array of online brokers to choose from..
- Ameritrade
- Scot Trade
- MyTrack
- Optionsxpress
Thisngs to watch are...
- min deposit requirements
- trade fees - beware of the $7 a trade adverts - which are true but are based upon selling to market as opposed to selling to limit. Selling to limits - which are more desireable are on avg $13-$15 a trade.
