I would recommend u to buy bitcoins now .as the price of bitcoins hits a little bit low ,then the price of bitcoins would increase up a lot .and u could sell it and earn a lot through that and dont forget to pay the taxes.

OP can buy stocks with bitcoin, there are online brokers who accept bitcoins and they are not limited to specific countries.
Interesting, do you have any examples? And more to the point, are they reputable and won't run off with my bitcoins?
EDIT: Noticed I am now Legendary! Whoopee! (not that it really means anything
)Yes, I'd like to know those companies, too. A link would be most helpful.

Being currently based in the UK, can I use American or foreign brokers? Or do I have to deal with UK brokers?
Yes, you'll have to stick to British brokers. I doubt an American broker would accept a payment from overseas, even if it's in US$. Markets are heavily regulated with AML and KYC. You certainly could invest via a Swiss bank, but the minimal investment is way higher that the sum you plan to spend.
Thanks for that info. Yes, Swiss banks are a little out of my league at the moment!

You have to admit that someone promoting the stock of a pharmaceutical company on a Bitcoin forum looks a lot like pump-and-dump.
Seems like an odd place to try and instigate a pump and dump...
Anyway, to be clear, I am just looking for information on some reputable online brokers. Been in the bitcoin scene for years, but I don't have much of a clue about investing in stocks.

So, do you know of any good brokers that allow small investments similar to the values I mentioned?
I don't know about brokers in the U.K., but buying $500-$2000 of stock at an online broker in the U.S. is relatively straightforward and cheap.
Is this a pump and dump?
Uh, do you mean am I trying to pump and dump stock of a company with a market cap of nearly £3bn on a bitcoin forum? No, no I'm not.

I just think they're an interesting company that may do well in the future, considering the widespread acceptance of medical/recreational marijuana across America right now.

I am interested in spending a (relatively) small amount of money on some stocks and shares from a few companies. In the region of $500-$2000 worth.
Can anyone suggest a good broker that deals in smaller amounts of capital like this, without charging too much commission?
The main company I am interested in purchasing shares in is GW Pharma (GWPH), I think they may do quite well in the next few years.
