Hello Sharetrader Members,
I'm new to the forum and a novice investor.
I am a NZ'er living in Taiwan (married to a Taiwanese National) and I want to invest in some Taiwanese companies.
What is the best method of purching the stock?
Using my broker in NZ or investing directly here in Taiwan?
I would appreciate if more experienced investors can identify all the important points to consider.
My father in law here in Taiwan is basically a day trader, so he always has hot tips (yes - he does well) however his investments are more speculative where as I prefer a long term approach.
From my limited research the market in Taiwan seems to be quite speculative, with shares bought and sold depending on news/rumors of pending orders for contract manufacturers in the consumer electronics industry and the current political situation with Mainland China. In addition there are a lot of insider trading allegations in the media.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Cheers,
BrewBoy78.
