actually, what's the cheapest route ah? haha

For a Malaysian to hoot angmo etf

Any idea which brokers don't charge commissions towards non-US citizens? Thinkorswim still charges for Malaysians and Singaporeans I believe.

Thanks Ramjade. Any options/futures for the whitelabels you mentioned above?

Can we direct TT from instarem to IB?

why would you wanna declare that? They gonna audit you every year after that

Noted, this is the first time I have seen in e-filing

thanks, how will they find out?
Is it when opening bank account that they will verify with Msian gov?

Guys need a confirmation from the veterans here.

I'm planning to open an IB account for dividend stocks from US. I've opened an account with IBKR but found out they have this $10 inactive fee unless your net value stocks are more than $100k.

Thanks to Ramjade, I was introduced to Tradestation. It seems promising, a front for the similar backend of IBKR with low fees and no inactivity fee (This one very important!).

Any hidden cost that I should know?

Lastly, what an exciting time to pick up some good dividend-paying stocks at this time.

I stumbled across Webull. Have you ever heard of it?

Thanks man.
Not planning to use margin as it's a double-edged sword for me.
Wow, didn't know about trading 212 too.
Now the question is why is everyone going IBKR instead of Trading212? Everything looks good.

Hi guys want to buy some stock for for good dividend yield for next 8 to 10 years. What are the stock can I buy

Hi, this question probably have been asked to death, but here goes. I always bought four US-domiciled ETFs through Dollar Cost Averaging. They are VOO, VTI, IWF and VNQ. Lately I just realized that my dividends are withheld 30%. I have questions below

1) Is there any offshore/overseas equivalent ETFs that I should buy over their US equivalent
2) It's the dividend that they withhold but not the capital gain right?

I buy them through Singapore's brokerage iOCBC, if that's any help, since I work and live there nowadays even though not PR and not Sg citizen.

Thanks! What's a "extra dividend charges" ?

Cash dividend
1% on net dividend (min S$3, max S$50)
7% GST or equivalent depending on payment currency

Foreign custodian fees
S$2 per counter (per month)

Is stashaway consider etf ?? And mirror the same platform like ib ?? I mean in earning.

means i dun need singapore bank account ?

Gonna register instarem and IBKR then.

I dont think so

Hi. Can anyone recommend a good performing Global Technology ETF? Are there any ETFs that tracks the MSCI World Information Technology Index? Apparently the MSCI World Information Technology Index can outperform S&P 500.

I discovered that Franklin Technology Fund (unit trust) uses the MSCI World Information Technology Index as it's benchmark. But I prefer investing in ETF, since the Franklin Technology fund doesn't really outperform it's benchmark.

Instarem used to be cheaper. But I heard they bumper the fee up by 0.5%. That's why it's more expensive now.

Very interesting Ramjade. I need to do more research on QQQ (NASDAQ) and iShares S&P 500 Information Technology Sector.

I was hoping SGX offers technology sector ETFs. Unfortunately, there are none in SGX. I rather buy ETF/stocks in Singapore, as I have a local broker there.

How to make money on ETF? Will you get dividends or you only make when you sell?
