    Hi everyone,

    I hope you can help. I'm looking for some advice on picking a broker. I'm pretty new to buying shares and I want to buy shares of a company that's listed on the NYSE and not LSE.

    I've been looking online but most of the brokers that will let me buying international shares are costing a fortune. I'm only investing a little and not going to be doing it regularly. Does anyone have any advice as to the best broker to go to for this?

    Thanks :)

    Lou

    If it is NYSE Halifax are having a fee free week for foreign markets this week including NYSE execution only and they charge no more fo foreign exchanges than LSE + oreign exchange costs.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    Sorry for delay it is on the main share dealing account I think as I don't think foreign shares are allowed on the share builder accounts as they have to be main LSE.

    I await correction on that if wrong.

    Hi everyone
    I hope someone can help.
    I have some common shares in a company called Ecoblu Products Inc. (ECOB) a US company which as far as i can tell are traded on the OTC. My problem is finding a broker in the UK to sell them through. I have tried TD Waterhouse and Selftrade but no joy. I have telephoned and emailed a few others that don't seem interested or think it's not worth the hassle.
    Is it because they are traded OTC? How can i sell these shares? Help!!

    Over the counter, off market or something like that. Try brokers based and working in USA instead. OTC is not a proper public share, its a contract with unknown worth

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_(finance)


    Google says its about 17 cents a share
