I wish I had read your post before I opened my e*trade global trading account. It is the worse brokerage experience I’ve had and the way their limit-price trading scheme seems to work appears ridiculous.

Hi Sun,
I’m thinking of opening a similar account with Etrade and was wondering if you have any details on the tax treatment of sales in this account.

Also do you know if you own the stock outright or is it etrade in that country?

Thanks.

I believe when you sell, there will automatically be a tax deducted from the proceeds in Hong Kong, before you get your money back — so it may have to go higher than HK5.40… I don’t remember how much the tax will be though.

Also, any information on how any profit will be treated by the IRS will be interesting. I assume e-trade will report the profit/loss on regular 1099 in USD and the IRS will tax you based on that, right?

Kate: Actually, that post is part of the “Featured article” that I intentionally created to highlight some of my old posts. Though I have added a frame to the article to make it look different from regular posts, I guess it’s still a little bit confusing. I need to think of how to make it appear differently, but still combined well with the theme of the site. Right now I run each featured article for a week, that’s why you noticed that article has been there for quite some time.

Moneymonk: If it indeed doubles in the next year, maybe I want to buy a little bit more. However, I am not so sure if it’s a good timing or not. Indexes in China and Hong Kong are reaching new highs almost every day. There’s quite a level of uncertainty one year from now. But it’s a small money and I’d like to gamble it

Sun, did you know the date on the HSA post is wrong and that post is continually at the top? I didn’t realize that til just now and I thought you hadn’t had any new posts in a few days. (If it’s intentional, just be aware that other people might not be checking out the rest of the posts.)

Thanks,
Kate!

Good move Sun, I’m sure it will get to $5.40 in no time.

The way China is growing it may double by next year
