Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to trade international stocks?I don’t remember why, but I made myself a note to check out Merck KGaA (the German company, not the US Merck). I looked at my broker (TD Ameritrade) and found it under 2 symbols, MKKGY and MKGAF. They are both associated with the right company, but have different prices. One ticker symbol seems to […]

Thanks! Since I don't plan on trading much international, I don't want to open another trading account, so I'll limit myself to what I can do in my current accounts. I guess my main question is how to understand different ticker symbols for international s[...]

Thanks. I guess I'm technically with Schwab too now, after they bought TD Ameritrade :)I did a bit more online searching after my last comment and actually found a Schwab help article that was informative at understanding different listings of foreign[...]
