Thanks for mentioning my blog! Half of my readers today are from the US. Fun to see readers from different countries.
Thanks for the mention.
Defensiven,
I’m glad you’ve been getting some US readers. I too love to see international readers. Besides the US, my largest amount of traffic comes from Canada, but I really like to see traffic from various European countries, India, Thailand, South America, etc.
It helps keep blogging really interesting to just sit back and realize that people from the other side of the world are reading your content every day.
Thanks for the mention Matt! I have noticed how the blog has been steadily growing.
Thanks for the tips. Great sites!
Thanks for the mention and the list of great reads!
Cheers Matt,

Thanks for the mention! I was wondering why I had a sudden spike in traffic.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
nice blog n i really like it.my name is edmund n i’m frm singapore. i invest n trade mostly in singapore n malaysia shares n currently i would like to trade in US equity market. I would like to know how is the tax being applied to dividend per share. Is the amount taxable or tax free? is the mid term election will affect the tax on ths thing? how severe will the market react on the mid-term november election? if the tax cut is not being renewed,will ths affect the dividend payout ratio for the companies? i hope u will able to brief me thru on ths..
Hi lofan,
A little while ago I wrote an article on the possible US tax changes. It’s worth giving it a look if you’re interested in the subject.
Some of those things I can’t answer. I’m not sure what tax relationship Singapore has with the US, so that’s something you might want to research. Currently, dividend taxes for US investors are pretty low, but might rise depending on what Congress does. The only assumption I make about the mid-terms is that the more Republicans there are that get elected, the more likely it is for the tax cuts to be renewed. I don’t worry about market reactions on these sorts of things, because I invest with a long-term view spanning several years.
