    Can not believe how long it takes to set up an account to trade in foreign markets

    Trying to purchase shares on the SGX, finally got etrade set up as westpac wanted 16 pages filled out and 8 days wait

    Just received access and apparently citi group are the clearing house and the share I wish to trade in has a restriction on it, and no one knows why or when it will be lifted?

    I've already seen the share go up 100% whilst waiting. Maybe I have to wait until is on it way back down?

    Just taking a wild guess, but are you by any chance looking at Blumont, Asiasons or LionGold ?

    Thought the restrictions on all 3 shares have been lifted recently.

    The cost and difficulty has put me off, when the AUD is up against the EUR I'll get my act together

    Commsec Pershing account, had it for over ten years, no problems and just your standard US securities forms to fill out.

    Yea looking at Liongold, etrade took my order this morning at a limit of .31 and has sat unfilled all day

    And I thought the ASX was manipulated?
