JSE is launching a new product that will enable you to trade blue chip shares on international exchanges. No exchange control worries, and you trade in rands (I think). Don't have the details, maybe it is on their website?

[Mr_S]

thats great, wonder if the fees will be much higher though, wish simon would answer, cos im sure there would be some interest with the forum members

[SimonPB]

Hi Picky The interview on Moneyweb implied that they would offer underlying international shares, not just ETF's

thanks Mammon, that was what I saw.Haven't looked into it though, not really for me, this product

[Mr_S]

john not sure why yr askin why but ill assume yr asking why i would want to buy direct US stocks, wel id lov to take advantage of the current situations as well as get into some small caps that side, with the potential of turning big profits in rand terms
