Any suggestions for a good sight to do some online trading?

I am looking to start some online investing of stocks and shares.

I am Canadian but an international site (so that I could legitimately not have to pay any capital gains tax) would be especially appreciated.

Thanks!!!

I, too, am interested.

I'm thinking about Interactive Brokers but I'd like to hear what others have to say.

A lot of sites like RBC securities now require you to live in Canada. Many of the banks seem to have gotten more strict about things more recently. I would look into TD Ameritrade. That would prob be the best and most legitimate option. TD is a Canadian bank but took over the Ameritrade website a few years ago. Find a good investment magazine that does some of the research of companies for you to find good "stock tips". You have to register with these sites and maybe email signed scanned forms back in most countries within a certain time period. Government rules, Patriot Act, and all that crap. Not much way to avoid it. If someone offers you a way to invest offshore, avoid it. Could well be a con artist out to take your money and you get stuck with no legal recourse to fight back because you did something illegal in the first place. Avoiding capital gains taxes is prob unlikely with modern reporting methods. But they won't be much for a typical ESL teacher since you're investing so little.

I really like Zecco (I think it's now merged with TradeKing). I've used TD Ameritrade as well, and that's not too bad.

I designed the below website to get online investors familiar with various products. It's not totally complete, but I think you'll find some good information there (especially if you decide to do stuff like options):

Seems easy enough for Canadians, but for Americans, it seems a real pain. You have to fill out all these forms. Too many regulations. But for either country, if you decide to go home, you'd face questions about your money. So, I think, I'd just pay the capital gains tax. Us waygook English teachers don't make that much money anyhow, outside of investments.

why on earth would you trade stocks with the frontrunning, HFT algos, CEO pay, stock options, stock dilution, fed manipulation, fed secret emails before announcements, brokerage fees, trading fees etc ?

Do yourself a favor and start yourself an online business and work at that. Save your money in cash. Then, when you return to your country you can start better business both online and brick/mortar

SamsungPOP or Daewoo Direct are alright if you're interested in the Korean market.

Where do you get good recommendations for Korean stocks like you do for the American stocks? I also need good charts when I trade obviously.
