[gt40]

I mentioned a certain stock at about $1.25 (or thereabouts)

One of they few times I actually listened to myself.

Nortel by chance?

[gt40]

yep, just announced a 1 billion dollar deal.

[Tjalfe]

damn.. I just sold mine thinking they were about to drop.. made $4700 in the process though

[agallag]

My brother bought Nortel at about $90, and sold at $125. That was just a couple weeks before it plummeted I think he only invested a few hundred though. Too bad.

[Tjalfe]

I bought at $2.96 and sold at $4.52.. damn they are at 4.82 now
I was going to buy them back when they had dropped a bit, but noooo.. they decided to go way up instead

is there a way for oversees people to invest money in the stockmarket online?

[gt40]

I do all of mine online - realtime quotes, news, company research , etc - and all less than the price of having a broker who is biased towards his own stock holdings.
I'm using BMO, which may not be the easiest to set up from overseas, but I'm sure there are plenty out there that can accomodate you.

[Tjalfe]

I use scotia mcleod ( www.scotiamcleod.com ) but they are expensive with the comissions $0.025 / share under $5, minimum $22.50 or something
try etrade or something .. not sure if they can be reached from your part of the world though

I sold my company stock for 3.90$ and bought it at 3.52$. But what really pisses me off is that it's worth 565$ now, d'oh!!
