Rrrufff,

It is your board, therefore your decision if you want to
keep it strictly on topic, or not.

In the past, my work brought me to some European countries
where i practised the local stock markets.
I started by chance at some project at high school, and got
drawn into the stock market ever since.
In a short time i started managing my parents savings,
and in all countries i lived in at my adult life i studied
the local market, and language as well.

Going international is easy nowadays, the only problem is
lack of time to handle the amazingly plentiful sources of
info available.

With hundreds of sites, with dozens of newsletters, with
new technologies, all you need is time and very swift reactions.

My main speciality is Israeli companies, some dually traded,
some only in the US, some in Israel only.
In general i prefer Israeli companies, not because
they are necessarily better, but because:

a/A lot more info available for me in Hebrew and English,
in the israeli media.

b/I can always pick up the phone and chat with Headoffice
officials in Hebrew.... and pick up impressions, data,
and various tidbits to finalise the puzzel.

c/Most companies are close, i can always go inspect the
premises, casually interogating employees, nice chatting
etc...

d/Israeli companies have a double safety net(for me)
controlled by Israeli SEC and USA SEC.....so hardly a
chance of hanky panky stuff happening.(With both different
but strict measures the chances of comitting 'mischief' is
greatly reduced.)

e/some of the stocks are dually traded, in Tel-Aviv stock
exchange, as well as in the US, like TEVA, ESLT, and many others....

My choice and picks of the small caps Israeli companies
i own, plus targets are in

I myself toyed with the idea of living in some other place,
while still maintaining my hobby which turned out to be my
main occupation.

Indeed, true, the Israeli stock market operates between
0900-1700 LT and US markets 1630-2300, a 30 minute intended
overlap.

I regard myself mainly an investor, and a trader on the sidelines only.

And yes, i spend some 12-14 hours daily by the computer.

Regards,

Dubi
