Question

How should i go about investing in NYSE / DOW Jones while sitting here in india?

Answer 1

Do you have access to the internet?  If so, I'd suggest opening either an ameritrade, etrade or scottrade account.  Then, you'll be able to place trades in the US markets and won't have high broker fees.

Also, you don't have to be a US citizen to have a trading account in America or to trade the US stock markets.  I work for a financial firm and we have thousands of accounts that are foreign.

Good luck!

If you are interested in investing in the U.S. markets, you can open an international account at most U.S. based brokers.  I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  They are much cheaper than the big name brokers such as Etrade, Ameritrade, and Schwab.  I've been using them for years now and I've experienced no problems with them so far.  I would definitely recommend them to you.  To learn more about how to open an international account, you can visit their website: http://www.firstrade.com/public/en_us/pr...
