S$2700 is not spent, its just deposit and can be used to invest in other stuff right?

Dunno how these brokers make money if we buy n hodl, Tiger gave me like SGD 170 in cash vouchers and now Moomoo keep giving ppl AAPL share, how?

See my footer.

I don't know if Tiger is better yet, still opening Moomoo, gonna deposit some money to try get AAPL stock and see how it goes.

Holy fucking shit, Moomoo is way faster than Tiger.

Deposit is acknowledged in < 1 min, as opposed to Tiger's 5 minutes.

Their mobile UI and stability, translations etc are done better than Tiger.

I will use both for a few months to see, no harm putting stocks in both accounts, they don't impose custodian or inactivity fees anyway.

Passport, not living in SG.

They don't. But MY passport + MY proof of address work just fine.

Yikes, apart from this, really no point renewing passport now until we are allowed to travel again.

Just done approval, deposit today. Now kena wait for free Tim Apple share.

Free AAPL stock should be worth wasting 1 year of passport effective time.

I have received AAPL stock, sold it for cash, and bought more VXUS.

Probably but very expensive, just go open CIMB Singapore account, then send MYR to SGD thru bigpay or transferwise.

How did you deposit? Maybe I deposited on weekdays that's why it's quick.

Not sure what's that, you should only transfer from your own SG bank account. Don't wise or bigpay your SGD in.

You should use wise.com to transfer, then it's a lot cheaper, like 0.6%

Interesting...

Tiger doesn't seem to allow stock transfers out. I had to sell them first, convert to SGD, withdraw, deposit SGD again, incur 2x forex losses (about 0.6%).

Futu app is damn good.

I don't day trade with it and only use it to accumulate VXUS, so its rather OK.

Sorry, where are the holding charges? I only saw ADR fees?

The FX spread is 0.6%, higher than mid valley money changers, but otherwise its acceptable lah.
