At present, China's economy has indeed fallen sharply, and the stock market is naturally problematic and unsuitable for operation. Affected by the domestic economy, Hong Kong's stock market is now depressed, so the risks are also great.
The economy of the United States has been very stable, and it has completely emerged from the impact of the financial crisis, so the risk of doing US stocks will be relatively low.
Based on the above situation, I would like to introduce you to the specific precautions of the US stock market:
First, if you want to buy and sell US stocks, you need two preconditions:
1, we need to open a US stock account; You must have dollars in your account.
2. The accounts of US stocks are only securities accounts, and there is no direct transaction. At this time, you need to have an account with an overseas bank, so that you can transfer it to US dollars.
Second, buying US stocks is actually similar to buying and selling domestic A shares. You have many brokers to choose from. There are many US stock brokers commonly used by China people, mainly including:
1, Firstrade (first financial management);
2. Yi Mao (Yichuang Securities);
3. Scott Securities;
4. Interactive broker.
Of course, you can also buy and sell US stocks through financial institutions in Hong Kong, such as CMB International, BOC and HSBC. These banks can trade US stocks.
Third, the trading commission of US stocks is different from that of our country. For example, several US stock brokers we introduced above all provide online trading of US stocks, and the transaction fees are different. The reason is simple: they set their own prices, and some brokers charge a single fee, such as $7; Some charge by share, and the price is generally $0.005 per share. Financial institutions in Hong Kong charge higher fees, so it is not recommended to consider them.
Fourth, if the United States does stocks, it has minimum capital requirements. The main differences are as follows:
1, different brokers have different minimum capital requirements for opening accounts.
2. Generally speaking, the capital requirements of securities firms are mostly from $500 to $65,438+0,000. You can look at the introduction of the brokerage firm you choose.
Fifth, the US stock market has some different requirements for financing accounts and daily trading accounts. In addition to meeting the minimum capital requirements, brokers or the US Securities and Exchange Commission also have some different requirements, depending on the specific situation when you register your account. Of course, if you reach $30,000, you can trade anywhere.
Finally, as a financial planner, I need to tell you that the trading and operation of US stocks are different from those in our country. In our country, it is almost impossible for institutions and bookmakers to influence the market, mainly because of the personal accumulation of data and information, and there will be no man-made phenomenon. Therefore, we should distinguish China stock trading when operating.
