I am Indonesian and I want to trade on line especially in AIM (London Stock Exchange), penny stock, via internet in real time. It is so hard to find a broker which provides such service in Indonesia. Any suggestion ?

All information is welcome and please send to my email supraptosupi@gmail.com

Hi, this may be a stupid question but I am completely in the dark about the stock market.

Can you lose more than you invest?

Thanks!

Tom, 15 basis points is equivalent to .15%.. that gets to be a mighty expensive commission! Sorry, but I have no recommendations at this time.

Buying international stocks is so difficult. Most times I never know the TRUE cost until after the trade. The “middleMan then gets his
cut.

I am new at this so please be patient. I was quoted a commision fee of $19.95 +15 BASIS POINTS. I don’t know what or how to figure that STAT in. The stocks asking price will be $33.20.
Could you show me how to calculate that.

I am looking to by of the Oslo Exchange, do you have a recommendation for a broker?

Thank You, Tom Sheldon
