Hi all,

I want to look at European stocks, any idea for screeners and fundamental data ?

Thankss!!

As far as free applications go, Saxo Capital Markets/Saxo Bank has that tool on its online platform. Covers US, almost all exchanges in Europe and Asia.

Quite good and its free until end of this year.

Think you can find more info here http://sg.saxomarkets.com/stocks/

I haven't had exposure to investing in european stocks but already some time has passed since their debt problems began and considering not many people over there now have much money for investing am wondering how are european stock markets performing.

But if we had overcome our asian economic crisis I believe europeans can overcome theirs and given time one day their debts can be clear, economies will improve and when it does people will invest in stock markets again.

So how to check european stocks buy sell etc ... and what are taxes like? any capital gains/dividend taxes ?

anybody experience on investing in euro stocks like to share?

i trade european shares using saxo and stanchart.

saxo currently is the cheapest and most extensive when it comes to european stocks, including scandinavianm central and eastern european bourses (they are a european bank after all). i think comm is 0.1% only. stanchart is 0.2% and only has UK,France,Germany,Netherlands

Tax-wise, i found on saxo's website the taxes affecting trading. On stanchart website i couldnt find much info but i think the same applies

end of the day these taxes are factored into your open or close prices already so i assume that there is no issue in terms declarations.

hope this is helpful.

thx mulyc,

I was googling around earlier and found some links to articles on greek stocks. There are some good stocks like sport betting, lottery(like berjaya ??) tobbaco (bat ??)

I guess is the same everywhere if such companies are recession proof here they will be recession proof anywhere else in the world.

However I think we have missed the boat on this one, I see prices already gone quite high the opportunity to buy them at crazy bargains prices are over, could be a sign of slowly returning confidence to the market. There could be still a few nuggets around.

I couldn't find info on capital gains tax but I see the tax on dividends paid by greek companies are around 25%

i think european stocks are not very popular in asia (maybe at best UK), so there isn't tht much demand for them.

personally i mainly just buy and hold some of the blue chips in europe to hold thats all.

i think trying to catch opportunities in europe linked to a possible euro meltdown is abit risky.
