  1. Dear-

    I wonder anyone have experience to buy

    1) SONY in Japan (not ADR in NYSE)

    2)Samsung Electronics in Korea(not ADR in NYSE)

    ******************************************

    If so, please tell me

    1) which brokerage company allows to buy those international equity

    2) how much did you pay to buy and sell for brokerage

    3) how much (tax rate) did you pay for capital gain tax in 1040?

    Unlike in US asking for ONLY capital gain tax, I heard that Korea and HongKong charge additional trade tax, for tax to the country's IRS as soon as SELL is executed.
