If I wanted to buy some stock in a company listed on NYSE..

[schmalex]

, how would I go about doing it?

[Cheeky Jim]

open a US e-trade.com account

My company opened one for me for our company stock plan. I can buy and sell shares in the US (our stock is on nasdaq) and get the proceeds sent in a sterling cheque...


However, I'm a complete novice, so no doubt there is an easier way to do this locally...
