    If you are planning to trade outside an ISA wrapper you may want to open your brokerage account in the US itself. Cheaper dealing charges and probably less overall forex charges. I know TDAmeritrade does allow residents in other countries. I have one but I opened it before 9/11.

    I bought Martin Currie North American Unit Trust a couple of months ago through H-L no costs to purchase and up 11% since, don't see the point in trying to build my own portfolio of single co shares as it is full time job.
    If it takes a man a week to walk to walk a fortnight how long does it take a fly with tackity boots on to walk through a barrel of treacle?
