You can't buy stocks without going through a broker, and all of them require KYC, as do banks if you want so much as a checking account.
These days there are just as many non-compliant stock>forex brokers as there are non-compliant crypto exchanges. Most of these brokers offer CFD's where those buying and trading these contracts don't actually own the stocks nor do they have dividend or voting rights. It's all based on buying the exposure to the asset. It's hard to regulate everyone one of them. Where one goes bust two new brokers pop up.
figmentofmyass, is it really necessary to keep posting consecutively in the same thread and in the same page? It's quite annoying and spammy.
