$2000 to $500,000 with penny miners.

I use St George Direct Shares and CommSec, soon just CommSec once I sort out paperwork for shares transfer.

 

I use Interactive Brokers for ASX and international shares, ETFs, CFDs and binaries but their platform is not really suited to investors new to trading and requires a minimum balance of $10,000 USD to be maintained.

I use FXTM for trading forex

 

Etrade (ANZ)

 

Has anyone used BOOM.HK? Their site looks a little dated but I've heard good things.

 

Now my orders been filled I can say yep... PIO

 

I use Commsec

 

I did look in to boom but i ended up with Etrade. Ask yourself what you need and then start going through the reviews. I got a bit snowed under comparing all the options bet eventually settled on Etrade Bit expensive and useless for heavy trading but ok for getting and holding a position. The broker reviews will help. If you have more than $10,000 look in to Interactive brokers

 

Your international securities are held by a custodian (including through a sub-custodian) on your behalf. You retain beneficial ownership (but not legal ownership) of your international securities. This means that the name of the custodian or our nominee, ETR NOMINEES PTY LTD, rather than your name, will appear at the share registry. In providing you the Global Shares service, we have selected Citibank, N.A. to manage the custody of your international securities.
On the upside i have worked out how to access TSX

 

Placed order to sell 8000 ARU and transfered some more funds. aiming to buy $600+ silver play later today. Fairly sure i am happy to risk Silver Mines ASX. Account is up almost $90 EXU doing well.

 

Asx: Try- positive news on debt and hedging.

 

sold 8,000 @ ARU for small loss Etrade is down so cant say exactly. This frees up plenty of cash, to get silver mines or klondike silver . I have around 4,000 left in ARU to hold (about $200).

 

Just went to buy a TSX stock and etrade has a $2000 min per trade on foreign stock. I wish that had been pointed out before, i would have gone elsewhere for a broker. so its all ASX.

 

I am looking at Investigator res, Argent minerals, santana minerals, Genisis, Apollo and Musgrave. Any warnings ? Oh and Azure

 

These are all poke and hope companies?

 

Order 5:1365815:7 to Buy 13,500 AZS Shares has executed. 13,500 Shares have filled @ 0.045. This order is complete. A contract will be directed to you shortly.Your order has been completed as detailed above.

 

How much of your $2000 dollars has been spent on trade fee's so far WSL ?

 

4x $19:95 Still in front though i think.

 

Yes thats the plan. High risk blue sky. I am still waiting for my sound company to come off vol suspension Silver Mines LTD LOL

 

I joined Commsec early last week so I can buy some Brazil Resources Inc shares off the TSX and I'm still waiting for my account to be opened. Meanwhile I've been watching BRI share price slowly increase. How long does it take for commsec to activate an account?

 

I dont know with comsec but i think it took over a week for mine to set up after all details were provided. It took three or four days for the initial funding to show up on my balance sheet. Now it usually comes in within the day. Rocket , could yo let me know what is the minimum value share purchase on foreign stock <. Etrade is $ 2000 so that cuts me out for now. Pissed, there are so many promising silver miners in TSX.
edit It is nail biting when your watchlist stock wont wait for you BRI.
