    Things looking rough on the ISEQ today. 3.. 6% down for some companies. If the US has a bad opening this could be another black monday.

    Just a question about the ISEQ if anyone wouldn't mind. I'm going to get involved with a European stock broker that does not offer the Irish market, basically am I missing out? Or with all the other major stock exchanges being offered, does it really make much of a difference?

    depends if you feel comfortable picking all foreign stock then you will avoid the stamp duty that you have to pay on irish stock
    but I feel like I know more about irish stocks
    why not have the best of both worlds

    Trying to find a cheap Irish stock broker, finding it hard to get anything that compares with the deals offered by European and American brokers, but yeah, best of both worlds would be good, I'll look into it

    If you are saying that you bought $40,080 worth of shares in an American company and paid $260 commission, plus $10 for compliance (whatever that is) then you are paying way over the odds. With a US broker that trade would have cost you $9.99 at most. Fees can seriously eat into your profits (or seriously add to your losses).

    Not sure how many of these take Irish customers, TradeKing aren't taking any new Irish customers I think. TDAmeritrade aren't on that list, they charge $9.99 per transaction and they take Irish customers.
