depends on what you want to do. if you want to own the stocks via cash-covered puts strategy, just keep it until it gets physically converted to shares (obviously have to be in-the-money or near-the-money)

to be frank, DCA works in scenarios like this



if the share price chart looks like this, you should lump sum at the beginning in 2017



you're probably thinking of "time in the market"

have a trading (or exit plan) in place whenever you buy stocks. the most recent lows (in Mar) is $756. only you can decide if you'll stay put or cut loss

yea...


whenever a dividend is announced for VWRA, you'll only be taxed 15% of the dividend rather than the normal 30%

normally when you sell (naked) options, broker will ask to "reserve" a certain amount of money in your account (aka margin). if the money falls below margin, you'll get a margin call. if you fail to meet it, they'll realise your losses.

only if you play with leverage.. without leverage, it's like below
naked buy-to-open -> you pay a small premium (like insurance) to protect against stock losses
covered sell-to-open -> the max losses = your stocks going down to $0 (which is the original risk you take when you buy a stock anyway) minus the premium you received

yup. from day 1 Ramjade & I never advocated using options if you can't cover it fully (aka naked).(also, don't be too greedy and sell a OTM call that's too near the current price)

To be fair, it's also assuming you have a First World cost of living.

it exists, however, those arbitrage trades are discovered and traded by players with direct computer access before you can even look at it . hence the rich will always get richer

you can also sell futures (e.g., nasdaq micro-lot futures)

for Wise, you must first create a singapore bank acct with your name, then in Wise, select "transfer to yourself" in the options, so no alarm bells will be triggered as you are transferring from a MY acct to an SG account with identical names. ziet has videos on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4KJY8MVC5g

credit spread options? (google tells me bond credit spread is a thing)

btw, here's $BIL on stockcharts.com (auto adjusted)

don't know why their fees as percentage is only found in this page, u don't see it elsewhere https://wise.com/my/pricing/hold-fees?sourc...R&targetCcy=USD


might be worth it to still send via ACH, delay by few hours but save some RM

soon might be better to go the double conversion route MYR->SGD->USD

i traded XLK bought & sold. first leg only charged U$0.34, then closing trade the regular $0.35... until now i can't think of a reason for the 0.01 cent rebate

1) open a singapore bank account
2) transfer S$ to the account, e.g., you have a friend working there, or you can convert S$29-30k and travel down to deposit
3) deposit SGD into IBKR via FAST, and convert into USD with only U$2 fee (refer to this for proof https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/prici...currencies.php)if you are a malaysian/singaporean, yes. alternatively, buy irish-domiciled ETF where WHT is only 15%

how to do this?

--addition--

also, to remind that irish domiciled is U$1.70 or 0.05% of Trade Value (tiered pricing), whichever is higher

buying irish domiciled ETFs, you'll be charged 0.05% + miscellaneous fees issit? take note that i'm buying in a amount that'll exceed that minimum US1.70 fees. aka U$3,400 and above

use moneymatchinactivity fee already abolished.

Paradigmata short story, if the stock price turned profit when u buy, you won't be subjected to margin call
