Quote from cokezero:
I suggest you go with interactive brokers. They have an office in Admiralty (pacific place) and all their staffs speak good english (and some only english). Price is good and you can trade world wide products. Also they have a server farm in HK.
E-Trade no longer has a physical office in HK. All they have is a bunch of servers located somewhere in an industrial building.
If you want personal attention and talk to a broker on the phone the price is riduculous here for non-hk stocks and is a complete rip off. No to mention most of the local firms don't have staff that speak good english. If you really don't like electronic trading (interactive brokers) try HSBC brokerage. Price is still a rip off but at least you get staffs who speak reasonable english.
Hope it helps.
