    Trading in Thailand

    reason i'm skeptical is because i've been to several less developed countries before. one would think that things should be cheaper, but what i've discovered is that sure, some things are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. for example, you will not find a real Rolex in a third world...

    Trading in Thailand

    I think you are wrong.When you fly in some place ,you are viewed as a transient foreigner and the local telco's dont want to be bothered with you.In fact,even in the US,where they fight to offer you "deals",they still want a social security number on a contract. I think wireless services will...

    Choosing Base Currency?

    Nasdaq be carefull.Could be a can of worms.Maybe if you base your account in AUS and then trade nasdaq stocks,maybe IB will say you have "borrowed' US dollars and charge you interest? I suspect your account should be based in the currency of the markets you intend to trade.:confused:

    Trading in Thailand

    Anyone think it a good idea to start a thread where traders can post info about broadband wireless service areas anywhere in the world?I dont mean coffee shops and other hot spots.The biggest problem for a trader, who only wants to stop a few months in a place,is getting his own internet connection.

    Fishbird,isnt the EEC one tax bloc now.Otherwise no need for a boat.Just drive across a border every 180 days.I dont think the registration of the boat has anything to do with your income taxes.

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Dandx it depends on your broker.If your account is with a US broker then they are going to send info to the IRS. Maybe some IB experts can answer this.If you travel to Hong Kong and open an IB account there would you have to give a Hong Kong address?I presume that if you give a non US address...
