Hi members of boards.ie ;p this is my first post on here so cut me some slack if I'm doing something wrong, I'm wondering about how I can buy u.s stocks without paying huge fees, I was looking at opening a davy select account for buying shares but then I looked at the fees, 10 euro per trade which is decent but then I saw the overseas charge for buying any stocks outside of Ireland was 25 ****ing euro which is insane, not sure if that is added on to the 10 euro or just the overall price but still there is no chance I can afford 25/35 euro per transaction.

Is there anyway I can buy american stocks for around 10 or less quid, thanks
