Can a international student buy shares?

[jo_theone]

Hi joe!

I need your help again. Because of the complications with setting up my own biz i have decided to turn to light-weight stock trading.

By the way, i am an international student on F-1 visa.

I just wanted to confirm if it will be okay if i trade shares using Sharebuilder. As in, maybe an investment of $100 a month.

I hope i am not violating my F-1 status by doing so.

Thanks.

internet trading

If you can buy shares on the internet from your home country, then what is stopping you from buying them any where else? If you broker allows you to trade regardless of your country of origin, provided you have money, then what is the issue.
