how do i buy stock in us whele i am in another country?

Answer 1

Certain broker/dealers are registered in foreign countries -- companies like Schwab. Go to a large American-based stock brokerage house, get a representative, and they'll be happy to take your money. Your biggest problem will be figuring out whether the broker is just churning your account to make money for himself. You'll need good access to information on American stocks before you can feel secure.

Answer 2

Onlline purchase is probably your best option. I used to work for a major online brokerage firm as a broker. Once you establish your account, you'll be instructed on forms you'll need to fill out (depending on your country of origin) that help establish tax rates and liability. The form you typically need is called a W-8BEN Form, which is almost always available online.

The US has preexisting arrangements with most countries allowing your gains to be subject to local rates of taxation, and not the rates the US typically charges. Most of the time, you don't need the forms to be onfile to purchase stock, only to withdrawl your money later *after* stock trades. So you can start trading in a surprsingly short period of time (the next day, often).

After you've established an account, wire transfers are the easiest and fastest way to fund them. Once the funds have reached your account (typically within 24 hours), you can trade on the US markets. The wire transfer is probably the most complicated part. And once again, the brokerage will *definitely* help you fund your account.

Sourced are links for application, the W-8, and wiring instructions for a major online brokerage. Have fun!
