I'm using Etoro and interactivebrokers. Be aware that ibkr has monthly inactivity fee of 10usd.

Never resist temptation for it may never come again

I also have eToro. I’m thinking of opening up either IBKR or TDA.

Question ko for IBKR - diba they have $10 monthly consumable, so you need to make 10 trades (bec $1 commission per trade) per month para sulit. Or kunwari you put in Php 50k, automatic may 1% hit ka na because of the $10 minimum.

Also, how do you fund it? Wire transfer? If yes, diba $35 per transfer from BPI/BDO. So if monthly ka magtransfer ng 50k for example, edi 3.5% worth of charges na kagad yun because of wire transfer.

Tapos meron pa ba PHP to USD conversion fee if you wire transfer?

Hindi ba parang mahal vs eToro na no transfer fee, ang spread mga 0.4% lang, and PHP to USD charge via Dragonpay is 2.5% only?

TD Ameritrade

Same question for TDA - diba meron din siya wire transfer fees of around $30-35 per transaction? Meron din ba PHP to USD conversion fee?

Kunwari 50k gusto ko ipasok per month, ano pa mga charges ng TDA?

di ko alam ang details coz the cousin handles that

i don't think TDA charges you for topping up your trading acct

the fees are on your PH bank's side like wire transfer fee

kung galing sa peso account meron pa added step na convert peso to $ based on the bank's $ selling price

lakihan nalang ang amount ng transfer para sulit ung fee

pero pag umabot sa $10K alam ko AMLC will be alerted

your bank will ask you for proof that your purpose is legit like showing them you own a TDA account

Inactivity Fee - I think if you trade with large amounts then the 10$ fee can be met with just a few trades or even in a single trade. Tama yung 50k with 1% hit agad if you don't trade to meet the minimum.
Funding - I've used wire transfer. Can become costly if you fund with small amounts regularly because of wire transfer fees. Better to place a large amount one time.
Conversion Fee - Yes, if from Peso account. I thought dati na I can just open dollar accounts and fund from there to avoid the conversion pero ganun din since bibili rin aka ng dollar to place sa dollar account

IBKR I think is good for active traders. For a pure investing, fidelity might be a better option (has better reviews).

Anyone here investing in the US market? What brokerage do you use?

Bro, would you like to consider dollar feeder funds offered by the local banks?

For NYSE, I am using Fidelity and Morgan Stanley but both were mandated by my employer and fees were shouldered by them.

*jut703 malaki ba talaga kita sa stocks? I have the impression since way back before that you need to invest significant amount of money to have a decent return.

Like for example if I have invested let's say ₱1M five years ago. How much based sa real data ang gains ngayon...conservatively?

Ang yumayaman lang sa stocks yung nag IPO na business owner. Kung buy and sell stocks lang, myth lang yan. Your just trying to get good returns on disposable income.

The essence of stock investing for most people is capital protection. Instead na kainin ng inflation pera mo, better to have it work for you by growing in the stock market.

Since stocks gains are in % lang, small money in = small money out. Volume for me is more important than gains, that’s why I value my income earning more than my stock gains.

Yung savings ko from my salary ang pumupondo for my stocks, so the key to build wealth for mere employees like me is to improve salary, keep a high savings rate, and invest extra money prudently.

If you invested your 1M all in Tesla stocks 5 yrs ago, meron ka na 24M now.

Pero siyempre di mo naman isusugal yung buong 1M mo siguro sa TSLA, so you might be more conservative and you invested your 1M in Apple kasi mas established company, meron ka na 5M ngayon.

Baka mas conservative ka pa gusto mo iba ibang stocks paglalagyan, so you invested in the S&P500. Yung 1M mo in 2016 would now have been 2M na now.

Laging percentage ang kita ng stocks so 200% of 10k is just 20k pero kung 1M ang pinasok mo then 200% gives you 2M.

Huwag muna tayo sa US. Dito lang muna locally if I invested sa blue chips dito 1M 5 years ago ano kinita ko ngayon based sa real numbers na nangyari?

Kung PSEi ka naginvest, no change halos from 2016 to 2021. Bulok PH market eh. Which is why I diversified to US stocks also.

Kaya nagpayout sakin na from 2015 until now binabayaran ko yung bahay ko kaysa stocks. But if you were able to invest last year March meron ka na 150% ngayon.

It depends aling blue chip stock binili mo.

For example:
If you bought PLDT on Jan 1, 2016. As of today's market close, you would be down roughly -37%
While if if you bought Ayala corp on the same date, you would be up roughly +15%

If you're talking about the PSEI index then you barely made nothing (+2%) as Jut mentioned

The stock market is not a get rich quick scheme. One must acquire the necessary skills and develop an edge (over years of study and practice etc...) over the markets to be consistently profitable over the long run. Once you've made it, you can make the stock market your money printing machine. :D

[jut703]

Pana-panahon lang talaga yan.

If you invested 1M in the PSEi in 2010, you’d have 2.35M in 2015. But 2016-2020 has been mostly flat.

Parang negosyo lang yan, kung nagbukas ka ng hotel, restaurant, rent-a-car ng 2019, malamang lugi ka na ngayon.

Same with real estate - rental prices are stagnating/dropping, occupancy rate is low, dami ring nagbebenta ng lupa/condo below 2019 market value. Pero from 2016-2019 tiba tiba ka sa rental and appreciation thanks to POGO.

Like the TEL example xninjax put above - it was a good buy from 2014-2016, but declined heavily the years that followed. Now, it looks to be a good buy again as it’s priced below its true value, it’s a good dividend stock, and their earnings look strong as they expand their broadband base, PayMaya, and heavy capex spending to crowd out incoming players.

For conservative investors like me, I prefer to build volume over time with TEL than ride an overvalued hype stock like DITO.

But as with anything, don’t put your eggs in one basket. The PSE’s recovery is contingent to PH vaccination, which is worst-in-class right now. So I have positions in the US market as well. But even the US market looks to be trading too high and is bound for a correction, so I also keep part of my investments in real estate and crypto.

Underlying foundation of it all is that I try to keep my employment stable and my salary growing. This is where I need to diversify as I need more than one income stream. As employees, we’re all replaceable so you need a fallback.

PSE will only go up if foreigns stop dumping and start buying. It's not the vaccination, nor the virus. It's the veerus.

EM investments are actually up. Isa tayo sa mga kulelat among EMs kasi wala tayong matinong economic recovery plan kasi nga hindi tayo makabalik sa normal dahil sobrang delayed ng vaccination program natin relative to our peers.

PH vaccination expected to roll out fully by 2023, well behind ASEAN contemporaries like Vietnam or Thailand. Kalevel natin Bangladesh at Africa lol.

IBKR is for serious traders ... You need at least $25T to avoid the Pattern Day Trader Rule ... If you are so concerned about the fees then IBKR is not for you ... $10 is such a small amount compared to the fee difference ... eToro is more expensive (0.2% per trade) than IBKR's ($0.005 per share) ...

eToro's platform freezes more often than IBKR's during volatile days ... But if you're just a passive investor then you can probably do with just eToro ...

But now is not a good time to be buying if you're a passive investor ... wait for the bubble to burst ...

$1 per trade is bigger than 0.2% spread for my use. Php 25k is the breakeven point for that. I don’t put 25k per trade so eToro comes out cheaper.

I don’t bother with timing the market. Kaya nga DCA eh. If the bubble will burst in the next 6 months then good, I’ll be able to buy at a discount moving forward. If it takes longer, then ok lang din I can make some gains before the burst.

Ganyan na ganyan sabi nila sa BTC at 20k in November. It’s at 50k now and even if it corrects in the next few months, unlikely that it will drop back to the 20k levels.

Kung sobrang galing niyong magtime ng market, super yaman niyo na siguro. Congrats!
