Listen to our podcast series to get a simplified breakdown of trading and investing in US Stocks.
Investing in the US Stock markets is an efficient way of wealth building over time.
Investing is long term, while trading is gaining from short term trends. You should have a longterm stock portfolio with fundamentally solid Stocks & ETFs⚠️ We suggest allocating most of your capital to investing(long term).

The stock market in the US is made up of 13 exchanges, the best known are the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Stocks are also referred to as Equities.
A broker is a brokerage firm or investing app that facilitates the buying and selling of Stocks & ETFs.
They usually charge a commission(fee) for matching investors who want to buy or sell securities(like Stocks/ETFs) with the other side of the transaction. Anyone can invest in US Stocks from a regulated investment app.
