im very new to this and I plan to buy the vuaa in ibkr with usd although im european and I use euros. I don't know if im right or wrong, I just follow advices i found online :D

[@hugo.canosa]

But! Dollar etf's usually also outperform the one's in euro

Nice video mate! I think you made a mistake at the conversion. For example 0.002% of 11000 euros is 0,22euros and not 20euros.

[@sidestreams6078]

Thanks! Knowing me there is some mistake somewhere , but in this case I think it's correct because the 20e is for the first 10k that you convert to USD, and then second one is for 11k dollars to eur.

TBH, I was also expecting to see other brokers comparison as well (e.g. Degiro).

[@sidestreams6078]

Fair point! The ideas was to show how your choice influences the results. Degiro has similar fees, but the amounts will be different.

Hello Robert, I am from Suriname and I would like to buy shares in companies in the United States. Could you please help me?

[@sidestreams6078]

Hi Juliet, unfortunately, I have no idea what platforms are available in Suriname.
But try to find if you have any of the big ones, like Interactive Brokers, Degiro, Trading212, or Robin Hood.
If some of them are available, then you can easily start investing by watching one of the tutorials on UA-cam.
I hope this helps you get started :)
