Four. Account opening procedure
You only need to open a securities account to buy and sell US stocks. The securities account also has the function of a bank account. If you deposit money in this account but don't buy stocks, the broker will pay you interest, but will deduct the tax of 10%. If you want to be tax-free, you can choose to transfer short-term funds automatically, and the brokers will make profits for you.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) transaction cost
The handling fee for buying and selling US stocks is not calculated by the proportion of "transaction amount", but by the number of transactions, and the handling fee for each broker is different. For example, the transaction fee for opening an account with e*trade, a well-known online brokerage firm, is $65,438+04.99 ~ $65,438 +09.99. If the transaction is conducted in charles schwab, charles schwab has a Chinese website and Chinese customer service, and the transaction cost is $29.95.
In addition, there is a charging model based on the number of transactions, and the charging standards of different brokers are also different. For example, the transaction fee of Yingtong Securities, a well-known online brokerage in the United States, is charged at $0.005 per share, so when investors buy and sell 1 0,000 shares in one transaction, the transaction fee of Yingtong Securities is $ 0.005×10,000 = 5.
