Can Indian citizens buy shares of companies listed in foreign stock exchanges? What are the rules and regulations to understand?
Yes, There are two ways Indian investors can buy shares of companies listed on foreign exchanges. The easy and the hard way.The hard way:Most domestic brokerages in India have tie-ups with international brokerages. To directly invest in the Apples and Facebooks of the world, an Indian resident investor needs to enable overseas trading through their domestic brokerage.Last I checked, investors had to move a certain minimum amount of money to their international brokerage account. Commissions for trading on U.S. stock exchanges are 0.75% or $9 per trade, whichever is higher. Other less liquid markets have similar or higher transaction costs.At some point, this process will become seamless enough that shares of GOOGL and ASIANPAINT will sit in one consolidated account. Don’t hold your breath.The easy way:At last count, I found 37 international equity mutual funds. Many (not all) funds are “feeder” funds, i.e. they put their invested capital into a master fund that’s actively or passively managed based according to its investment mandate.Details of the 37 funds, their AUM, investment philosophy, past returns and top holdings available in this post: How Indian investors can invest in foreign equities | The Calm Investor
Why can't the most powerful nation on Earth (which is the US) take any measures to scrutinize Bitcoin trades?
With Bitcoin, it doesn’t matter how powerful you are. Anyone can scrutinize Bitcoin trades to see how BTC are transferred from one wallet address to another.With a bit more work, you might be able to associate a wallet address with an individual or organization. Certainly, the US has very sophisticated capabilities in this area, but so also have individuals been able to figure out who is a party to a particular transaction, by applying a variety of “open source” intelligence gathering methods.On the other hand, an individual or group that is intent on remaining anonymous can still do that with Bitcoin, in combination with various other practices. For example, the “WannaCry” ransomware that popped up earlier this year is widely believed to be a North Korean effort, but no one has been able to associate the Bitcoin wallet addresses used by the ransomware with North Korea. At least not that has been reported publicly.What no one can do (yet) is break Bitcoin’s encryption. That is, no one can figure out a private key from the corresponding public key, or any message encrypted by that private key. Maybe in 30 or 40 years, quantum computers will be able to crack SHA-256, hopefully by then Bitcoin will have “forked” to a new quantum-proof encryption system.
What happens if I place simultaneous buy and sell orders for the same stock after hours?
Your broker will be more than glad to place the order and collect his commission whatever you want to do. However, it’s more than likely you will receive a notification that something’s wrong with your strategy and he won’t do anything at all until he hears back from you.When I first started trading twenty years ago it wasn’t unusual for me to make a couple hundred trades a year. One has to be very lucky to afford this kind of strategy and I wasn’t always lucky. In the last five years I haven’t made 25 trades altogether and I have two brokerage accounts. I owe zilch on my margin account which used to run into the thousands.I sleep better at night. I used to be up two hours before the market opened anticipating trades for the day. I don’t have winning and losing trades of 100% anymore. I anticipate a small profit each year and leave it in the account to grow for retirement. Half my account is in cash. It’s probably not a good strategy. I wish you good luck in or out of the market.
Is binary options trading gambling?
The answer is quite simple. It all depends on you!When people compare binary options to gambling, they are missing a major fundamental difference; Casino, Roulette, Blackjack and Slot Machines, are games of chance and not skill. With binary options, there are outside forces, like market events, which cause price movements. A good trader, can interpret market information to know when odds are in his or her favour.Is investing in the stock market gambling? Wall Street has managed to convince the entire world that the smart thing to do with your money is to give it to a stock broker, so that it can be gambled for you. The reason some don’t consider binary options as an investment is because of the time frame of binary options (you can choose to predict the movement of an asset at very short time intervals: 60 seconds, 5 minutes, 24 hours, and so 0n). It is, however, also worth pointing out that Wall Street is under the same time pressure when it comes to trading stocks, commodities and Forex, since day traders close all their positions before they go home at the end of the day.For me, What's All the BUZZ About Binary Options Trading was one of the main sites that cut through the cr*p and showed me which brokers I can trust to become a successful independent online trader. However, before you start trading, I would highly recommend that you stay up-to-date with current affairs by visiting sites, such as CNBC markets, Google Finance and Yahoo Finance. Thereafter, use a regulated binary options broker to profit from correct market predictions. For example, if you come across news that suggests Apple are not selling as many iPhones as expected, then you can place a trade where you forecast that the Apply stock will go down in the next 24 hours. If you’re right, you stand a strong chance of earning up to 70+% return on your investment.This method of trading is pretty easy to pick up, but you always have to trade smart and it helps if you don’t get too greedy chasing massive profits! The problem I had with binary options trading is that there is so much information out there that you don’t know what to believe. There are also binary option brokers that are not regulated and, with an unregulated broker, you may find it difficult to withdraw your money, so make sure that you follow my advice and join a trusted broker that offers you a user-friendly online trading platform.
