Trading in foreign stocks

[David H]

I've opened an account with Sharecrazy (execution only) and want to buy some NYSE stocks, but seem unable to do so. Can anyone help? I'm fine buying LSE stocks but not any other markets.

I'm waiting on sharecrazy to reply to my question but thought I'd ask here anyway.

There is a form you have to fill out (I've forgotton the name) that will allow you to invest in the american market. I did it a few years back...I think it was for tax reasons (so you don't get double tax etc).

Your broker should be able to provide the paper work for you.
