NASDAQ through Self-Select ISA

rda · Mar 15, 2005, 4:43pm

'Evening,

I'm new here and wondered if someone could point me towards some information or a thread because I'm not exactly coming up trumps.

I'm looking to invest in growth stocks via a self-select ISA because of the tax benefits. Been testing my NYSE and NASDAQ stock picking for a month or two and am now ready to take the dive, just having trouble finding someone who provides what I need:

comdirect only offer NASDAQ and NYSE quoted stocks that are included on the LSE's International Retail Service and I can't see any of my picks on there;
I'm waiting for idealing to come back on the same issue but their trading day is only 14.45 to 16.30.

Anyone able to suggest someone who can offer a full complement of instruments on these exchanges or perhaps an alternative tax-efficient way to invest in growth stocks on them

Cheers.

Before you invest in Nasdaq, have a look at this, it is a bit out of date but certainly worth looking at!

And note it says
"excluding negative earnings"!

Thanks for the link.

OK, I'm not too proud to ask. What are you trying to imply with the chart, that the US is over-leveraged and correction's on the way?

Yes!

Hi don't know, but have you asked etrade?

I know they deal in US stock and they can provide ISA wrappers, I don't know if you can put the two together or not. You could maybe give them a call.

Another thing you might want to concider is Spread betting, right now there is not Tax to pay and no capped limit like ISA's have - just a thought.
