Why must you buy when it was at its lowest and sell at the highest?
A few small, known fluctuations in the price of a stock will quickly
add up.  You only need go back to last week to make some sensational
stock manuevers (I am reasonably sure).  Doing it this way you won't
have to worry about currency problems, or even finding a stock broker
who wants to know who you are and where you live!  Just use your own.
Instead of making 1 or 2 large transactions, make a few dozen small
ones - also calls less attention to yourself!
