Wah margin already lol. Congrats on the milestone.

Careful later you get margin calls during downturns...

Cause I have been in tech since 2015 and tech have always give the best returns. Not to mention ark is the new form of tech. Disrupting tech vs old tech. So you thinkn?

You can buy other stuff than amzn. Shopify, SEA, scottish mortgage trust

That's why I am planning to limit it to only 10% of my portfolio and it's going to involve ETFs only. No prize for guessing which ETF I am going to pick. Interest only 1.5%p.a I got this idea after doing some research. All the successful people borrow money to get to where they are and that include Warren Buffet.

QQQ has around 10% of Apple and 10% of Amazon.
You can combine that with other ETFs.

thanks will take a look but I'm mostly interested in AMZN for their peripheral services, not so much just directly shopping. Of course the irony is the ETF ONLN is about online shopping.
Scottish mortgage trust is 1unit 1240GBP? Isnt that exceeding 1 unit of AMZN though

This is could be an option.

No. UK market is priced in penny. So 1 unit is essentially GBP12.4

Aah...its a shame, I can't buy LSE shares from via Etrade. I'm supposed to have a TD Ameritrade account in process, but its not yet open, who knows Jeff Bezo's already pass away by the time its open.

You tagged wrong bear just saw this message by chance.

I didn't research into margins yet as I'm still uncomfortable with it so my IB is just pure cash account. Hassle but peace of mind

tda can't buy from lse

Ok Thanks.

How to buy ark funds? Is it possible to buy thru stashaway?

You should do your own research into these funds.

Buying into something just because someone recommends it puts you in a vulnerable situation; especially when the person giving the recommendation has no knowledge of your personal financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance.

No love for clean energy etf?
Namely pbw

Nope. Stashaway is a robot and does not buy ark etf. You want to buy you have to buy yourself. No other way.

How to buy?
1. Open sg bank account
2. Open tradestation international
3. Fund your brokerage
4. You are ready to buy

Alright thanks for sharing bro

Indeed. Ramjade's point is just for reference. You need to know your risk profile well. He is taking more risk than others now, going into margin some more.

Decent blue chips with low volatility like S-Banks or S-REITs (their indices as well) or just S&P 500 give you good risk-adjusted returns too.

Only you know your expectations well. Others can only provide advice at the side.

Hi, interested in setting up a US Stock trading account.
From what i read here, seems like TDAA is the good bet but wire transfers appear to be expensive.

Is Interactive Brokers still an option for say around $5k deposit? Do they still have that min $10k requirement? Right now they appear to be attractive since theres that TransferWise option to move money around.

Use whitelabels of IB if you have no money.
Whitelabels of IB basically get around paying the USD 10/month fees but it increase your commision from USD0.35->USD1.50
