I opened an American stock account four years ago, but it didn't work. At that time, I wanted to open it in advance to buy Alibaba. Finally, because Alibaba's stock opened higher, I didn't transfer money to buy it. Fortunately, stocks with more products are now buying stocks with more products, which is why the American Stock Research Association will teach you how to buy stocks with more products. Although it has fallen by nearly 40% in one year, its share price is more than double the $89 when it was listed, and it is around 180 yuan.
Method 2: It is the most popular way at present, and the channel of buying US stocks and Hong Kong stocks is opened through the domestic agent platform.
At present, Yingtong and Tiger Leopard, represented by Xue Ying, are popular.
The account opening of these platforms is basically unlimited (asset investigation is relatively loose), the amount of funds is relatively small (basically starting from the initial investment of $3,000), and the handling fee will be lower than that of the second one.
The disadvantage is that domestic agents are all platforms. You need to see whether the underlying brokerage companies of these agents have insurance and whether they are members of FINRA@SIPC approved by the US stock market. If the domestic agent goes bankrupt, the securities account will be protected.
