Buying etfss is easy, but buying the right etfs without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day invt decisions being guided by a invt-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using a invt-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million

hello, would you recomend Revolut for buying etfs and stocks?

What is your opinion on Vanguard VWCE? As it's the only FTSE All-World ETF available for purchase in euros, being based in Germany and considering I reside in Europe with euros, do you believe it's the optimal choice? Alternatively, could there be a better option available from Invesco? Maybe iShares like IWDE could be an option

Just etf is a great resource for Europeans!!

But investing in ETFs directly is also possible!

Жыл бұрын

There are various options - a lot of Swedes use index mutual funds denominated in SEK instead of ETFs, but others might do a currency exchange and buy ETFs in USD or EUR (it is important to watch out for currency exchange fees, though, which can be high).

Can we invest directly into Index fund/stock S&P500 in EU? I have found that it is possible in the US (with a very low fee), but haven’t found any options in EU. 🤔 Or if I put in diferently, where can we invest to get the most for our money? Without any large fees, which eat your money each year. I would like my money to grow automaticly.

I'm not a Swiss tax expert, but my understanding is generally that it's a bit more complicated - cap gains are tax free for most people, but not tax free if you are considered a professional investor - and there one of several criteria is the holding time for your investments (the 6 month limit). So if in doubt, one should always consult a tax advisor.
