Hi All,
I would like to buy some stocks but i don't want to go through a third person. I know I can do it through my HSBC website, but it asks for a stock number.
I have a few questions therefore for people who do this:
Where do you read information about stocks. How do you find out whether they are new, information about the company etc.
How can I go through the actual process of buying using an HSBC website?
Are there any pitfalls I should look out for?
Thanks
Miranda

You do not seem to have any knowledge about stocks. Do be careful. HSBC is stock number 5. The website I use is Quamnet.com. You have to open a securities account at HSBC to do this. PM me for more info if you need to.

Hey Foolan hill,
I got Shanghai Prime AND Dalian Port in the IPO frenzy.
Should I sell 'em?
I think Shanghai wont get much higher than $3HKD so I'll sell today but Dalian, selling for up to $4.25HKD on the grey market!!! What's your prediction?

I'm selling my Shanghai Prime today too. Let's see what price Dalian will be today and what analyst says first before we make a decision. Do you have Xiwang sugar. Made a nice profit there in just a few days.

No, missed the boat but made a killing on China flavours...

Thanks for all the advice folks.
I can see I wasn't clear in my question when I asked "Any pitfalls?" I wasn't meaning any pitfalls in investing in stocks, I think that kind of thing is pretty obvious. I mean actually in investing on your own rather than through a broker and also through the HSBC specifically. For example do they take a cut? Do I have to pay any fees etc...
Thanks again

Dalian is surging ($4.6) despite the unattractive valuation from the pundits.
above 4.75 you say foolonahill.... looks promising
