Trading in US stocks from Singapore?

[aster]

Please forgive me for not having a flying clue as to what's a good deal and what is a dire poor one, but can someone just give me a general impression on whether this is a decent/rip-off (please circle the appropriate) offer?

P.S. I'm not into day trading or massive buy/sell turnover so the fees aren't going to stack up due to frequent trades, but at the same time I don't want to be getting ripped of each time I make a transation.

Here is another company for comparison.

I wanted to post UOB Kay Hian & Phillips Securities but its simply the main website. If you go to FAQ, you should be able to find the commission rates for comparison.

I think you can check out all the major securities firms in Singapore, on their commission rates. Opening a trading account with them, should give you access to US market and most of the major international market as well.

Could someone please help me compare the two just to make sure I'm getting this right...

If you invest <$50,000 and the share price is $2 or below then both companies charge the exact same commission?

But if you were to invest say $50,000 in Google stock at say $500 a share then...

- with Citi you would pay $150
- with DBS Vickers you would pay just the $29 min. fee (as otherwise at 0.03 USD a share the cost would be just $3?)

Anyone?

Can DBS really charge just 3 cents per share, even with Google stock around the $500 mark, while others want up to $1.50 per share (0.3%)?
