Every stock investor certainly wants to be able to make as much as possible from dividends or capital gains, in choosing stocks as a long-term investment instrument (not trading) we all have the option of global stocks or local stocks. However, before we decide which stocks to choose, we also need to know some of the differences between local and global stocks, as follows:
Regulation and Taxes
Local stocks: In general, local stock rules and taxes are easier to understand and simpler.
Global stocks: We must know the stock rules where the stocks are issued if in America we need to study the SEC rules. Global stock taxes are often more complicated and must be studied from the beginning.
Stock Index
A stock index is a measure of the performance of a group of stocks that are used as a benchmark for investors. Local stock indexes will be easier for us to find anywhere in banks, the internet, etc. Examples of global stock indexes such as: FTSE 100 (UK), S&P 500 (US), Nikkei 225 (Japan). IHSG (Indonesia) etc.
