Can you buy and sell stocks?

Anyone here a day trader or just a trader investing in the stock market? Can we purchase real estate or get approved for loans? Are we allowed with only a work authorization?

Yes you can. Already got 3K worth of investments in the stock since I was approved. You can signup with scottrade or any of the companies that do this. they only require a SSN and Id. Fill out the form..etc. But yeah, you can open a trade account and invest.

Who should I invest into?

Dont just throw your money out there might ass well spend it.... First get geeked up on it. Theres lots of real good books to learn stocks, I personally woudnt invest in it, once you read you will find out why.

Yes. I have been an active investor for a few years. Do your own research, or <shameless_plug> become a client of my firm</shameless_plug>.

Yes, you can. I been looking into stocks, and investment company as well. Going to open up a account hopefully within a week or so.

Do your research before you invest your money.

I have already invested with family members before i was approved. Anyone know about loans for buying property? I know you can purchase without being a citizen but that's with cash and must pay in full like a lot of foreign investors do. Based on what I read so far there really was no definitive answer and there is very little info on the subject so I was asking if anyone had any info from experience.

I know Scottrade offers an options for EAD, does anyone have any other suggestions in terms of companies that we can sign up with? I know TD Ameritrade requires you to be a citizen/resident.

Read the topic title as "Can you buy and sell socks", lol...

What did you guys put when they ask for citizenship status? you think they'll deny me if i say "I am neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident of the U.S."?
