I have a curious question.

Can Malaysian citizen invest in US stock market in the year 1986 or the year 1997? For example invest in MSFT in 1986 or AMZN in 1997? Are there any Malaysian citizen who invested in US stock market in 198x or 199x? Please tell how you do it, I'm just asking this out of curiousity.

if you ask me, only recently this few years when moomoo MY popup, where its feasible to invest in USA.

before moomoo MY, it just dont feel comfortable, because of high TT fee when deposit and withdrawal.

I think i tried a SG broker called Usmart. Deposit and withdrawal only, already make me loses lots of money in fees.

wah... can share a bit what you mean by survive 7th april margin call?
as in your broker sent you a margin call notice but before you can take action, market rebounded?
or you managed to reduce some of your exposure or throw some cash in?

me curious cos whole life (touch wood) never experience before while did read abt it... just wondering abt the process.

nothing dramatic.
I just got self panicked when my "Excess Liquidity" dropped to 25% of my asset value

Margin call actually occurred automatically when Excess Liquidity lower than zero. At that time, some or all your position will be automatically liquidated.

Ah ok. Are you using interactive broker? Cos the terms seems similar...

That's the scary part. Margin call automatically reduce one's position. Some more no time to react or decide what to cut.

I am using Tiger

Excess Liquidity is a common term. All brokers uses it

The key part is reduce some position before Excess Liquidity hits zero.

Hi, how your options fared? Puts options? What are the tickers hehe

recently i trade weekly HOOD, NVDA and SOFI options

to be honest, i dont know i will be assigned or not.

final deadline to exercise is typically 5:30 p.m. ET on the expiration date.
Meaning from 4pm to 5.30pm EST is beyond options seller control. If some options buyer want to exercise at this time, i might get assigned

I got short NVDA 180 Oct10 position, and if you check NVDA after hours chart, NVDA went below 180 from 5.16pm ET

Pls let us know. I thought 4.30pm is the cut off time, so if it doesn't hit 180 by then, you are safe.

it expires without being exercised

Options gambling in a nutshell after earning season.

Lets see how far can this account go before blowing up again.

your YTD return?

my YTD is also 20%
There are times, I wonder how on earth EPF/ASM return so low?

BTW, I feel like our PM sucks at negotiation. He doesnt know what common folks want. I am expecting lower withholding tax like in Singapore. I am tired of US 30% withholding tax

EDIT:
I also take this opportunity to ask fellow forumers, Is it possible to claim back Withholding tax? for example, my APPL, KO, dividend always deducted 30%

You buying AAPL and KO for div?

That's only 3% and 0.4% ?.

Better off with EPF or some bank stock in local.

Is not about the yield. Is about the dividend growth rate.
