Hi, I have some questions specifically on HK stocks. 1. Does anyone know if you will need to pay stamp duty (0.1% of stock value) if you liquidate positions at day end? Say I buy one share at open and sell back before close? 2. Can you trade at market OPEN and get filled at OPEN easily? like with US stocks? 3. Can you trade at market CLOSE and get filled at CLOSE easily? like with US stocks? Thanks.
Hi, 1. You need to pay 0.1% stamp duty, no matter what timeframe you trade. 2 & 3. You may want to take a look on the some HK stocks intraday volume. You will notice some volume spikes near market open and close. See if the volume is good enough for "easily filled." http://www.google.com/finance?q=0941&ei=fhM1U4DqMISmkgWdOQ http://www.aastocks.com/EN/stock/DetailChart.aspx?symbol=0941
I also have some questions regarding FTSE China A50. See here http://www.investing.com/indices/ftse-china-a50-advanced-chart how does this relate to SSE Composite Index here: http://au.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^SSEC I bought ftse A 50 but does not move like SSE composite. Could not figure out why. Any suggestions ?
SSE composite and FTSE A50 are different. SSE composite is the composite index of top 50 market cap stocks traded at Shanghai Stock Exchange only. FTSE A50 is the composite index of top 50 market cap stocks traded at either Shanghai Stock Exchange or Shenzhen Stock Exchange http://www.ftse.com/objects/csv_to_... China A50 Index Constituents&dl=&p_encoded=1 those symbols start with "6" are listed in Shanghai and those symbols start with "0" are listed in Shenzhen. HTH
