How To Open An Online Stock Trading Account In BDO Nomura

When is the best time to invest? Now. ​Always invest for the long term.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Personally, I don't use BDO Nomura as my online broker (I am using COL Financial as my online trading account) but I've just received some emails asking on how to open a trading account using BDO Nomura.
