Non-US investors in NYSE?

Difficult.  The US Treasury will keep assessments of this sort of information but it is not made public.  Investments are made through brokers and the name of the underlying client is confidential, unless subject to a court order.\n\nAny foreigner investing in the US market has to fill in a W8-BEN form for the IRS which clarifies their tax position.  You might be able to come up with a figure by approaching the IRS and asking if they release summary data from these forms.

I think you need to do some basic research on stocks before you jump in.  You can easily lose your 4k if you're not careful.  The things you listed are indexes and markets.  The NYSE is a stock exchange.  It is a private company who has a stock (NYX).  The S&P 500 is an index comprising the 500 largest companies in America.  The NASDAQ is a market and also an index.  The NASDAQ contains "mostly" newer companies and tech companies.\n\nDo your research.

If you are getting money from the public then you want to be a publicly traded company (stocks etc).  The initial investment for the NYSE to investigate the worthiness of your company is very expensive.  And since you are just starting, the odds are pretty low-- no track records.\nIf you believe in your company then raise the money yourself, or get a business loan.

Apparently not.  \n\nAll I can say, is that I don't have a "demat" account, whatever that is, but buying shares is not a problem.

WOW! I hope you are not into heavy investing or your company has not been removed from NASDAQ or AMEX or NYSE. It means that the Company is doing very badly and these exchanges don't think their stock is worthy of trading on their exchanges. Many times their stock might get listed for trading over the Bulletin Board. If even that that does not happen it'll have to trade over the counter if some broker thinks it is worth his while to make a market in the stock of this company. If an investor is wise he would have liquidated his position of the stock of this company long before this happens.\n\nOfcourse if you are a speculator with deep pocets you might start accumulating the stock of a company not before this happens but after it happens with the hope that some rich person like Ican will get greedy and starts buying millions of shares of the stock of this Company with a view to turning it around so that it will go up.\n\nBut I'd not want you to fiddle around with the stocks of these companies if you are not a speculative investors with deep pockets just because you received an email touting the virtues of some company. It is usually the work of some pump and dump scheme which will be a cause for your financial burn down. You don't want it to happen. Financial burn down is not pretty.\n\nBetter be satisfied by saving a penny or two by looking at the prices of several merchants like the affiliates of NEW ERA WISP. A penny saved is a penny made.

You may want to go and pitch your ideas where investors gather. I am, however, unsure if they will invest on someone from outside the United States \n\nHere are some places where angel investors come and those looking for funding can come and pitch their business plans.

I suspect you have to invest in their non-US citizen fund, which has slightly higher expenses.

Some foreign companies have their stocks listed on US stock exchanges. These stocks are classified under "ADR's" or American Depository Receipts. Or you can buy mutual funds that hold a portfolio of stocks. Also some brokers allow you the flexibility of buying foreign stocks which are specified with a ticker symbol. Figure out what you want to invest in, then go from there.

You can't buy stocks that are listed on an exchange without going through a broker.  Those are the rules.  Big brokerage companies don't rip you off anyway so don't worry.\n\nCheck with a US broker - I'm sure some of them must allow you to trade on the TSE from the US.  Alternatively you might consider buying a Canadian ETF (exchange traded fund) - www.fidelity.com sells them.

Good question. First off, depending on who you talk with, US stocks have had a fairly strong bull run from late 2002. There are several schools of thought as to the current market trend. My view is that leading US stocks that drove this rally (GOOG, EBAY, YHOO, APPL, etc.) are being distributed, if this continues, the general market is probably going lower. Could change at any time.\n\nThe US and western Europe have the best developed, most liquid equity markets. Other markets have excellent potential, however there is more risk as well. For the most part, financial statements released by US companies are reliable. Other countires may not be as rigorous. There may be other risks in less developed markets as well.\n\nThere are so many different ways to invest in stocks, it's very hard to determine if you should start now.\n\nYou need to learn about the market and develop the skills to decide what is best for you.\n\nWarren Buffett and William O'Neil are examples of people very successful investing in stocks. They share some similar views, but are very different investors. Search them on Yahoo! O'Neil's book "How to Make Money in Stocks," is excellent.\n\nTaking a position in a stock or market takes research, planning and courage. Mutual funds, ETFs and hedge funds are excellent alternatives.

THe previously mentiond TradeStation (trad) comes from the discount brokers group, and is working right now. Also, look @ oxps  amtd  et. You need to read William Oneils books though. Until you have read and learn more about the markets, I suggest etfs. EWJ is Ishares Japan. I highly recomend Japan right now.

Use Yahoo's stock screener, but you might want to make it think you are Canadian first.

You would need to consult an online broker, like Ameritrade, or see if there are any stockbrokers with offices in your area. They need to have a seat (or be affiliated with someone who does) on the NYSE to trade in stocks on that exchange. NASDAQ operates differently and there are a lot of other stock exchanges as well.

Just sign up with ameritrade.  Stay away from those get rich quick stock trading programs.  Everybody who uses those loses their shirt.

I do not believe that you can, but call Etrade and ask them if they have the ability. Many foreign stocks however are traded on the U S pink sheet if they are not traded on an exchange. A couple of other options open to you are to trade the foreign indexes or to trade the mutual funds that specialize in foreign markets.

Sometimes the NYSE.  Sometimes the NASDAQ.\n\nYou can check their volume here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5ETV.N\n\nAnd here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5ETV.O

No you cannot. You have to reside in the USA and have a social security number, local employer and tax info\n\nhttps://wwwna.ameritrade.com/cgi-bin/apps/AccountApServlet?segment=ameritrade&ea=y#null
