People in Hong Kong will soon have a much better online platform to trade Hong Kong stocks as E*Trade Hong Kong is rolling out its stock trading platform. The online trading platforms that other brokerages in Hong Kong have are just plain pathetic.
On the other hand, if you are in the U.S. and want to start trading in the Hong Kong stock market, you can also use E-trade too. You can open a global account in E*trade where you can trade equities in Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and the UK.
