South Korea Stock Market

INTRODUCTION

South Korea is one of the most closed countries in Asia, according to several American travelers who have traveled throughout the region.  However, that does not mean that we should not invest in the South Korea stock market.

Nevertheless, when Americans try to open an account in South Korea in order to trade South Korea stocks, they are likely to be disappointed.  Today, South Korea is still yet to have easy procedures for foreigners to trade South Korea stocks.
