There are several but best to leave them alone as they are all targets for Uncle Sam's crusade and your funds will remain at enhanced risk because of that. On top of that you'll have delays and high costs of moving funds in and out and unless you are big player that will eat up most of any profits you might make.

High costs for moving funds in and out? That's too general and sweeping of a comment. There are still free payouts for US customers at several shops (5Dimes, Heritage, BOL, etc.).

The other comment about what is "best" is also your opinion, so please don't state it as if it's fact. Obviously things have gotten worse for US residents, but for some of us, the reward still outweighs the risk.

Lastly, you should probably state that your comments are coming from a non-US resident who is so used to how much more smoothly things run for you that your opinion of US-facing books might be a tad skewed.
