Hi Keith, There is no extra charge for doing trades through SEG... it is the same cost if you used the brokerage houses in that country directly. You can't get much cheaper than that Sorry for disrupting the love-in :-)))) and I will ignore (for now) the political issues and offers to use nuclear weapons to attack people if they don't do what they are told to do, by the bullies currently in charge in China (reference to this was made because many companies are jumping on the Chinese economic bandwagon lately,...including CPT,... and the powers that be in China are clearly losing some control,...history teaches us that rulers losing control of the people many times resort to war against some other country to retain power),... but I wonder if the above statement by Keith can be completely correct, given that there will be charges for currency conversion, and presumably some kind of fee garnered by SEG so they can make money on your transactions as well. Also, if SEG manages to win some lucrative market share from the big boys and girls,...I imagine competition or acquisition will come quickly. Speaking of consolidation, the information age is getting ready for a big crunch now, much like what happened to the car companies in the last century. The key to making money in the future, may now be looking for these "small" innovative companies having key technologies or products that the biggies are looking to acquire. Is CPT one of these? And why? Know of any others?
