exactly, screw the middlemen that eat up the fees

I read that Robinhood actually removed the ability to search for some stocks such as GME recently although now you are able to do so. So not surprised if other brokers did the same. This is due to the recent craze of some stocks

rumors say such providers might be routing retail orders to other buyers/sellers in bulk. maybe these so called "liquidity providers" do not want to trade certain stock hence such providers like etoro suspend these counters. there is a reason why they can afford super cheap rate, no one runs business for free, there is always a way for them to make money.

which social trader to follow to get most profit?

I registered using my friend's link, have deposited USD250 and copy people worth USD200 for my initial investment. However I have yet to receive USD50 referral bonus after 10 days now. Am I doing anything wrong?

Yeah they're legit but they use a dodgy af deposit fpx site if you choose to go with bank transfers and they use dodgy shell Sdn Bhd companies to transfer the money back to you because they're illegal in Malaysia Just skip the tax return portion. It's not required.

Follow Cathie Wood, dont follow anyone else

Anyone still using this platform?

https://status.etoro.com/

topkek, always can't login

Instead of just using Etoro, make sure you all stay invested with the stock itself OR the spac that might take it public

pm-ed. thanks.

Hi everyone I’m 19 this year and I’m planning to put in around 5-8k in jt . Is there anything that I should now ? Should I switch it the NON-cfd ? What are the difference ?

done pm. thanks.

not sure what jt is but

cfd is a 'bet' between you and the brokerage. when you close the contract, the brokerage either compensates you/or you compensate the brokerage for the difference between contract open price and contract close price, hence the term cfd(contract for difference). the brokerage allows you to take out a cfd with a leverage. it allows you to buy a contract worth usd10 with only usd1 (x10 leverage). downside is that it is volatile because your unrealized profit/loss is magnified by the leverage that you have taken. for every one unit of share that you 'buy' with cfd on a x10 leverage, a usd1 difference in share price amount to usd10 of your unrealized profit/loss. if the unrealized loss is more than that allowed by the brokerage, then it will ask for a margin call(top-up). if you dont top up within a certain time frame, then your contract will be forced close automatically thus realizing your loss. if you take out a cfd without leverage, you might as well buy the underlying asset. plus, there is overnight/weekly rollover fee for cfd. the higher the leverage the higher the fee.

in contrast, there is no fee in owning underlying asset. the brokerage will hold the share for you on behalf(nominee). you are also entitled for dividends but it is subject to withholding tax.

there is no answer to which one is better. it all depends on your risk appetite. high risk high return and vice versa. good luck and all the best.
