However , since it has banking facilities attached to it – it makes a nice account for internet marketers such as myself – and I use it daily with Paypal – and I haven’t got round to using the investment side of it…

I got a kit which showed me the way to open an Etrade account See : http://www.easyusaccount.com , and showed me how to open a US Paypal account as well etc. Its been over a year and so far no problems – so Ill keep you posted if I run into any.

Is etrade the best service for stock trading if you are a foreigner? Or is there another service? I have seen several websites that have people who have had problems with etrade…

I highly recommend reading these website for research, hope this helps.
