well my account still in pennys at the mo but ye it should sort it self out.
What i'm doing now Noamasa is i'm trying to open a new account with etrade in the uk i put that my permanent address is here in brisbane australia , i'm a british national which i am and my last house address which was in the uk 2 months ago. they just sent me an email saying thanks and that they will send my direct debit info through the post and that if they carnt find my identity electronicly then they may ask for further details. which i hope they dont. then if they ever ask the dreaded question are you going to be out of the uk for over 6 months i will just say no i'm here on a holiday which i technicly am but for 12 months. then i will have to transfer my shares from barclays stockbrokers to etrade account if i get that far and use them for now untill i sort out an australian broker. i have a bank account over here just got to get my tax i.d this week. with a bit of luck all will go well otherwise could take me a hwile to get things sorted. meaning i will have to open a broker over here and ask for a forgien account and then ask if i trade in british stocks can i trade in the british currency otherwise after i sell the british stock if it goes automatically back into Aussie dollars then i'm not just fighting against prices i'm fighting against the exchange rate. lol oh ive had 3 blows this month carnt really get much worse.
