I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
@@Elliot-Ivan The crazy part is that those advisors are probably outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging fees over fees that drain your portfolio. Is this the case with yours too?
This used to be me just a while ago. For a start, avoid buying into hypes, try to diversify and most importantly always do your own research before buying into anything or get a good beginner-friendly financial expert to manage that for you. I too started recently (less than a year in) and I've made close to 6 digits in profit. Goodluck!
Nice... I am new too and I also don't know which stocks to buy... I also didn't know there were experts for this. Do you use one?... Please how do I get a good one?...
Yeah, I do. I work a 9-5 and time is a luxury for me. Well, you should start by looking for those from decent firms with good records. Also ensure the person is licensed. Mine is Allen, Eckrich Michael and I think he's good. You could check him out too!

I am a USA Expat living in the Philippines. IABK is the only platform I can trade on now that all USA Stock Brokers will no longer assist US investors living in the Philippines. IABK is very different. However, your video presentation makes using the platform look useable. Thanks
wow This really came in handy at the right time haha! Thanks a lot!!! I was contemplating which broker to dip into international markets lately and realized IBKR offers more ETFs globally, and there's no more inactivity fee as you mentioned in the last video! I've already signed up with your link!
I’m having a very hard time placing an order, I have funds available but when I go to place an order it say 0 funds available. Can you please help, do I need to transfer funds within the app to be available to buy stock?
Hi Thiago, if you want to invest for the long term with the S&P 500 you'd be looking to buy shares of the SPY (that's the ticker). You could dollar cost average in and buy the same cash value of stock ($100, $500, $1,000) each month and continually build a position over time.
@@Andrew.Ferguson Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying and that is what I plan to do. Now the problem is that I don't know how to do it inside Interactive Brokers. I have tried, but somehow it did not work for the wrote me an email stating so.
@@MillennialFinanceMalaysia Can you or anyone else please tell me how is it possible? Because when I place an order and pick GTC it tells me it will close the position in the end of the quarter year..
How would you get proof that you own shares say X amount of shares in a company, so that you apply to the company for some sort of benefit perks of owning that amount of shares/stocks? is there a screen that wills how your name and that you hold X amount of shares in whatever?

I have been with IB for about a year now. I have yet to see any gains (it has been a rough year). Having said that, I am wondering how might one withdraw eventual profits from my fund? I know withdrawals come from 'settled cash'. I mean, will my profits (when they hopefully come) automatically go to my 'settled cash' for me to withdraw?
You could consider using an FA. Here, they make it sound like it's so easy and basic when in reality, It's some sort of skilled gambling. I found this out the wrong way. Had to eventually settle for using one and though I'm not netting a million, it's one of the smartest decisions I ever made

Thanks for the video! Can you please tell me how to sell a specific share if I have a few packages of the same share but on different prices ( e.g. 1 pcs on 10$, 5 pcs on 14$, 10 pcs on 20$. And I'd like to sell 3 pcs out of the 14$ and 5 pcs out of thr 20$ packages) I couldn't find any topic about it. Thanks!
Glad it helped Tamas! Unfortunately you won't be able to pick which ones you want to sell, but don't worry at the end of the day its all just the same :)
Hi Tamas, if you want to sell shares and make sure you don't lose money you'd have to look at the average price you paid for all the shares. This is a column you can turn on in your portfolio and it will show you the price you need to sell at to make sure you earn a profit. Also sell above the average price paid to purchase otherwise you're losing money.
The portal is legit but more experienced traders perfer TWS to have access to more screens on important data or ordering capabilities on one screen or multiple screens/monitors in front of them.
If you open a paper account you will be able to see the stocks and options however, if you do not fund your account and purchase market data you will be viewing the market 15 minutes behind what is actually happening. It's super important to have real-time data when trading so just a note on the difference.
Hi opened cash account today and just trying to buy stocks but interactive asks me market data subscription do you think I need that subscription? Thank you
If you're a buy and hold investor it doesn't really matter as Millennial Finance noted, but if you're more active and trading with options contracts or swing/day trading you definitely need market data. If you don't have it all the prices and charts will be 15 minutes behind what is actually happening in the market.
hi, can i ask, how do you time the entry in IBKR? for example, i timed to purchase apple at 140usd, but when i made my order, the average price i bought is somehow higher than the price i timed to enter.
If im not wrong, the price in ibkr has a 15 min delay, so when you place your order, the price showed is 15 mins late, this could be why it is not as accurate.
Have you tried subscribing the data? data subscription allows you to get real-time prices when buying and selling. it costs $2 per month. Without it, you'll be trading according to lagged prices which is often not in your favour.
