I am an Australian who wants to buy stocks in a Canadian mining company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. How do I do this online? I have applied online through my Australian bank to buy and sell shares using my Aust. account, but this only applies to the Australian Stock Exchange (I think) obviously new to this!

I have absolutely no knowledge of stocks or economics, but with the economy, and I assume, stocks at a all time low, wouldn’t it be a good time to buy stock in solid long term businesses like Walmart, McDonalds, Coke, etc. since inevitably they will not go out of business or bankrupt, and rise to a solid level when the economy grows and gets back on its feet again?

asked:


Why do investors wait for irrational fear to buy stock bargains at high prices? Phases of irrational fear and greed constantly occur and re-occur in this area. Why?
I meant phrases not phases.

My boss wants to buy $10k of General Motors and sit on it for a few years. He doesn’t want to make any other trades.
E-trade is reputable, but it looks like they’re going to charge him maintenance fees every quarter since he’ll be inactive. Is there any other inexpensive way to buy stocks or to avoid E-trade’s maintenance fees.

Like Berkshire Hathaway. How did they (I’m talking about when Warren Buffet just started) buy more shares in the companies? I mean like they say that they never sell their stock once they buy it, so how do they keep purchasing more stock on top of that?

When the company announces dividend, who will get the dividend? Does the new owner receive the complete dividend? If not, will the dividend be proportionately distrivuted? Does this apply to the bonus stock issue as well? – Thanks.

This is a question that I have in my one college class. Please help if you can.

Let’s say, your dad needs money for bills and he recently lost his job due to downsizing. If you would tell him the information about this company that is currently selling stock at a resonable price that will be skyrocketing in the near future you could go to jail.

Would it be illegal if you bought the stock and got the money and gave it to your dad?
