10/18 I want to buy HK / China stocks (ADRs and region funds won't do).
Does anyone have any experience in regard to the feasibility
(procedure, costs, tax, currency conversions, etc.) of opening
a brokerage account (preferably online brokerage) in say Hong Kong
for a US resident? Any recommendations on which brokerage (HK or
otherwise) to use?

\_ Losing money on the Nasdaq and NYSE isn't good enough for you?
See the link below about trudy the monkey.

asia falls, because US is the market, but with booming
China, recovering Japan, big US trade and budget deficits,
I feel that this is no longer true. I like Russia with
Putin too.
\_ You like Russia? Say, why don't you just withdraw cash
from your bank account and throw it in the bay? Better yet,
give it to me.

say VIP and MBT versus Verizon and Sprint PCS with
all their debt, for example.
\_ yup, you have to be very careful but high risk =
high reward. I made a lot of money on VIP.
\_ Me too, 46% gain, and the good thing is it
still looks cheap. Hey, let's exchange
stock tips sometime.
\_ So considering high risk = high reward, what
is this difference between this and high stakes
blackjack?
\_ The fundametals of VIP is good. Compared
to US wireless service providers, it has
better valuation, it's market has more
growth potential and less competition,
and it has lower debt levels.

I think it's more than 50%. As
a game it's also more fun than
blackjack, which bores me to tears.
Pai Gow poker is more fun and
slower in terms of losing money,
but it is still not as fun as
trading stocks. There are risks
no matter where you put your
money. Feel free to put it in
a money market account if you
feel that helps in earning you
a comfortable retirement. Note
