Now I have a questions for the rest of you on here now...

Does anyone here have any experience with the above forms, and which do you prefer? Also which ones have the best rates for stock trades, and what are the rates?

Also how does one transfer stocks from one brokerage firm to another from diffrent countries?... Can it be done electronically?

Also can it be done be taking the actually stock certificate of a company {lets say Ford Motor Company} and then take it to a broker in Panama even though you bought the stock in another country, and use it to fund your account with... Do the brokers in Panama do this? Any one have any experince in this?

Last question is if any of the above brokers carry any kind of insurance if they happen to go broke while you have an account with them, and what is the coverage?

Thank to all that can help...
