2
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:09,000

There are certified financial planners and other types of advisors who can buy and sell stocks for you.
5
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:24,150
They tend to be more costly, but they can give you maybe more direct advice.
6
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:25,920
You're going to learn stuff of the course.
7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,360
You won't need to engage with them, but if you want to, you can, but you'll be able to just place
8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,290
your own trades as well.
9
00:00:31,290 --> 00:00:32,310
That's the whole of the course.
10
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:34,890
So you can do all that and they'll save a bundle of money.
11
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:37,410
But if you want to use full time people, you can do that too.
12
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:39,390
And by the way, the tips Are you going to be in here?
13
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:43,230
You really could apply both online or more face to face as well.
14
00:00:43,470 --> 00:00:46,320
But we're going to focus on how to pick an online stock broker.
15
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:50,520
So the first thing you want to do when you're searching is you want to make sure they're available in
16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,330
your country.
17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,850
That's the main thing you can have.
18
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:56,550
People say, Well, you should use ABC stockbroker.
19
00:00:56,550 --> 00:00:58,980
While they're not available in your country, it doesn't matter.
20
00:00:59,130 --> 00:01:00,030
You can't use them.
21
00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:01,680
There's regulations around that.
22
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:06,720
So you want to make sure you're there in your country based on the regulations that they're regulated.
23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,620
And then also everything will be in your currency.
24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,480
You don't have to try to convert the currency or anything will be in your local currency, whether it's
25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,170
rupees or euros or dollars or yen or whatever your currency is.
26
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:21,390
So when you Google, let's say do it just to do a simple internet search, you know you'll come up with
27
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:26,700
one site in your country or otherwise you could put in your online stock brokers in and then your country,
28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,560
India, US, whatever it might be.
29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,220
So first thing is make sure that you're available in your country and then you can even use them.
30
00:01:32,910 --> 00:01:36,810
Next thing is you want to and this goes all throughout is the level of trust, right?
31
00:01:37,350 --> 00:01:41,870
Bigger companies, companies with a lot of reviews, online things that you've heard of, you know,
32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,550
there's a lot of trust around them.
33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,320
You know, like TD Ameritrade, eToro is popular with a lot of students.
34
00:01:48,330 --> 00:01:51,690
Interactive Brokers are real popular internationally.
35
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:57,450
Big mutual fund companies like The Reality, Vanguard, Schwab, you know, these are companies that
36
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:00,750
borrow a long time, and they're really well-known companies and very established.
37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,000
So no what country and look for something that may be big and established an additional features and
38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,110
things are going to talk about them more.
39
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:12,090
But in the end, if you can't trust them, if you think there may be kind of a scam, if the word scam
40
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,020
comes into your mind at all, you need to find a different broker.
41
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:17,160
Don't even start with them because it's all about trust.
42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,920
It's your money, so you've got to trust them that they're not going to rip you off.
43
00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:24,940
Then think about what type of investor are you, are you?
44
00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:27,420
You know, going back to that or you real active trader?
45
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:29,100
Or are you more of a buy and hold trader?
46
00:02:29,370 --> 00:02:33,330
If you're a very, very active trader, then you want to go with a broker that's going to give you a
47
00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:38,390
lot of features around charting and technical analysis and things like that.
48
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,950
If you're more buy and hold, then it's less important for that.
49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Maybe you're looking for more things like education or ease of use or other mobile site or something
50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,440
like that.
51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,070
So you'll think about how you want to invest in the value in the company.
52
00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:54,630
You'll look for those things that you're looking for, you know, you're specifically looking for that
53
00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:55,730
they're going to meet those needs.
54
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,640
So think about what type of investor you are will help determine what type of broker works for you.
55
00:03:00,210 --> 00:03:03,210
And a lot of it comes back into the next thing, which is the user interface, right?
56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,550
Some are very simple, easy to do.
57
00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:06,300
You buy, you sell.
58
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:07,080
That's about it.
59
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:11,400
You know, maybe some confetti falls down when you make a sale or you buy a stock, whatever.
60
00:03:11,610 --> 00:03:16,290
And others can be really complex with a lot of charts, a lot of technical analysis stuff, a lot of
61
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:19,650
tools, you know, and which can be overwhelming for some folks.
62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,810
So again, look at that user interface and decide, you know what works for you as you go through the
63
00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:26,940
course, you're going to learn so much stuff.
64
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:29,610
So you're going to be comfortable with pretty much anything.
65
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,110
But in the end, it's still a personal decision as far as the interface and what you feel comfortable
66
00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:34,980
using with.
67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,610
Now, the thing is, look at what types of accounts are available.
68
00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:42,840
You know, a lot of them are just, you know, traditional brokerage accounts.
69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,340
I buy and sell a type of account and it's just it's with money that's already been tax, whatever.
70
00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:48,510
It's after tax money.
71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,460
But some might offer like before tax accounts like retirement accounts or savings types accounts.
72
00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:57,120
You know where you can trade within a retirement account in the United States.
73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,670
We call that like an IRA individual retirement account, you know, type of thing or for one K rollover.
74
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:06,840
Those are some of the type of accounts in different countries have different types of accounts that
75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,820
might be more a retirement type account versus something that's not a retirement account, even though
76
00:04:11,820 --> 00:04:13,290
you might be using it towards retirement.
77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,810
You might have some tax sheltering ability, so look for the type of accounts that the brokers offer.
78
00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:21,570
And does it meet your needs as far as you know where you want to?
79
00:04:21,579 --> 00:04:25,950
You know the the way you want to have your money held in terms of the type of account?
80
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:28,260
The other big thing is looking at fees.
81
00:04:28,290 --> 00:04:32,290
You know, there's fees can be account fees just for opening account or holding a certain amount of
82
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:37,670
money on account, having minimums, trading fees or you paying a fee for each trade each buy and sell
83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,300
you paying a trading fee.
84
00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:40,840
Those are miscellaneous fees.
85
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:45,720
Those are fees for like wire transfer moneys or withdrawing your money before a certain time in the
86
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,200
palace.
87
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Around that, we're seeing a lot more of no fee, no transaction fee trading, by the way, which is
88
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,630
great in one respect.
89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,220
You know, there's might have higher spreads or there's some there's some profit for the company behind
90
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:04,500
the scenes, but it allows you to trade more frequently than if you're paying, you know, two or three
91
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:05,940
dollars or more per trade.
92
00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:09,390
That's going to be much more limiting for you, whatever you're getting your currency.
93
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,580
So look at fees is very important.
94
00:05:12,630 --> 00:05:16,740
A lot of times, you know you can test drive a free version of your brokerage account.
95
00:05:16,770 --> 00:05:19,800
Many are just free all the time, and they make their money on fees.
96
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,830
But others might have a pay version or a pro version where in addition, you pay maybe a monthly amount
97
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:28,950
in addition to other types of fees or other types of costs.
98
00:05:29,310 --> 00:05:31,120
So Tesoro the free version first.
99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,190
So they have that to see how it's working for you, that user interfaces have got all the tools you
100
00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:39,030
want before you start paying for a pay version and take a look two or three.
101
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:43,020
Well, what if I, you know, cancel my pay version in my locked in for a year?
102
00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:44,520
Or can I just end it right away?
103
00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:49,080
You know, that's the thing to look at and then take a look at the analysis tools that are out there,
104
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,500
both from a fundamental analysis ratios.
105
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:57,720
Those types of things P ratios, all the different ratios and then the technical analysis or charting
106
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,020
stuff for moving averages to candlesticks.
107
00:06:01,020 --> 00:06:04,140
All different types of tools that you can use to analyze again.
108
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:07,860
As you go through the course, you're going to learn all these different and analysis tools.
109
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,230
You're going to have some that are going to be more popular for you or going to work better for you
110
00:06:13,230 --> 00:06:14,430
because you like them better.
111
00:06:14,670 --> 00:06:19,740
And the economics for your broker provides those tools that you like, you know, as a good first step
112
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:23,580
would be really go through the course and then start looking at the broker, ideally.
113
00:06:23,580 --> 00:06:28,590
But in between, you can look at some lessons ahead of time and compare to what your broker might offer.
114
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:30,650
Another big thing, the Umbro.
115
00:06:30,750 --> 00:06:32,390
I'm real big on this paper trading.
116
00:06:32,690 --> 00:06:37,130
You know, do they have paper trading available where you can practice before you actually use real
117
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:37,490
money?
118
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,010
Many brokers, most brokers offer this because they want you to practice.
119
00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:44,700
They want you to practice on their site.
120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,130
So this is the other benefit of paper.
121
00:06:46,130 --> 00:06:51,440
Trading on a brokerage site is you're actually using their tools and you get kind of test drive it before
122
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,860
you get to see before you start putting in your own money.
123
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:55,430
So your paper trading is available.
124
00:06:55,700 --> 00:07:00,650
So you can kind of give a test drive and practice while you're learning, but also learning on the brokerage
125
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:01,790
site that might interest you.
126
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,890
In addition is education.
127
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,070
Some brokerage sites are very bare bones don't give you anything.
128
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,820
And some are very extensive in terms of education, and they'll really promote that.
129
00:07:10,820 --> 00:07:11,630
And you're going to learn a lot.
130
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:15,530
Of course, from this course, maybe you'll take some other courses from me, which would be wonderful,
131
00:07:15,530 --> 00:07:16,100
would be great.
132
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:19,460
But also your broker might be able provide some education too.
133
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:21,050
And are they providing education?
134
00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:26,000
That's really only about how to use their site, which is nice and how far they provide the education
135
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,830
and other things that might be interesting, or blogs or other types of information that might be of
136
00:07:30,830 --> 00:07:33,410
interest to you and you might be used in your evaluation.
137
00:07:33,770 --> 00:07:39,000
And then, you know, how easy is that to deposit withdraw funds right there?
138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,610
The use of the currency you want to use?
139
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,710
Is it easy to move funny money in?
140
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:44,600
Is it really easy to move money out?
141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,460
Sometimes it's easier to move the money in.
142
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:47,480
It's a little harder to get it out.
143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,950
So look at those types of rules and things like, you know, how to deposit withdraw funds and what
144
00:07:51,950 --> 00:07:55,670
works, how that brokerage firm works and whether it works for you.
145
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,470
And then customer service, you know, brokerage firms are real famous for customer service and really,
146
00:08:00,710 --> 00:08:04,210
you know, talk a lot about that when you hit their website, others, not so much.
147
00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:09,140
And you can, you know, look at things on the internet and can look at forums or just Google search,
148
00:08:09,470 --> 00:08:14,570
you know, your your your customer service for ABC broker and you'll find all sorts of things.
149
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:18,770
Now, do remember that, you know, people are posting things they don't have are probably unhappy for
150
00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:19,820
some reason or another.
151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,240
So it may not be just that company.
152
00:08:22,250 --> 00:08:22,790
It may be this.
153
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:25,550
They're unhappy and they're taking on the company because they made a bad trade.
154
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,990
But if you see it, start seeing things where like, I can't get my money out of this company and you
155
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:34,220
see that over and over and over again, then that's a little more scammy is something to be aware of.
156
00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:39,860
So customer service can be very, very important in terms of of your broker.
157
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,970
So those are some of the things to look at as far as when you're evaluating a broker.
158
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,310
