How to buy VRTX
- Pick a broker that accepts your country and offers NASDAQ listings.
- Complete the W-8BEN if you are not a US person, so US dividend withholding is applied at your treaty rate rather than the full 30%.
- Fund the account. If your currency is not USD, the conversion charge is usually the largest single cost of the trade.
- Place a limit order rather than a market order, especially outside regular US trading hours when spreads widen.
- Decide your position size before you buy, not after the price moves.
