I am an share investor based on fundamentals however,

I find the TA approach interesting and comments mostly

enlightening. Last year I weathered the prevailing losses

and this year (since Dec 2001 to be accurate) I have had

a pretty good recovery. I am weary that the NZSE may

stall or run out of puff and find myself in the wrong market. 

Could the most learned members help me with their

assessment of the pros and cons of holding overseas stock.

 

(a)    Tax implications on dividends paid?

(b)    Tax liabilities on capital gain on sale?

(c)    Stamp duty or other taxes applying to purchases?

(c)    Delays with the availability of funds from sales?

(d)    The main advantages?

(e)    Any disadvantages or downside versus the NZSE?

 

Cheers and Thanks - Larry
