[@GreenPKY]

quick question here, where can i find option chains for ASX ETFS and stocks? tried commsec app, moomoo and tiger.....

[@jasonlu4304]

Note that the free 10 stocks from Moomoo are obtained through a 'roulette' system ranging from $3 stocks to your big stocks of tesla or apple. Not guaranteed to get the big boys.

[@jonathonbrisbane2350]

How long is this bonus gonna go for? *burger*

[@ranz6646]

Which broker do you use?

[@BryanInvest]

@@ranz6646 Combination of Moomoo, Stake, and Webull. I have accounts opened in basically every Broker in Australia so I can test them and shares in older brokers like Commsec and SelfWealth which I've been too lazy to transfer over. So there may be some shares here and there.

[@ShellyJenny]

I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time..

[@SabestineGonzalez8]

I have lost a lot when I acted alone and without a guide. It was a bumpy ride for me. Who is your mentor please? How can I get in contact with you? I really need help in this market now?

[@ShellyJenny]

As a beginner investor, all you have to do is to have a mentor to keep you accountable.

[@ShellyJenny]

Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Emmeline Gisela daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.

[@KarlFriedrich-r2j]

Wow. I am a little stunned that she is mentioned here too. I didn't know that she was good to so many people too. That is wonderful. I am in my fifth trade with her and it has been awesome.

[@ShellyJenny]

I am one paycheck away from filling up my emergency fund account, after that is me investing! glad foryour timing (:

[@dheepvijay]

You videos been very educational for me. I am 45 and just starting to look at investment. The structure you follow in your videos are great. I really like the unbiased comments. Thanks again.

[@bernietech19]

Brilliant. Please keep these Aussie focused videos coming 🙏

[@BryanInvest]

Absolutely mate. Aussies deserve their own finance content 🦘

[@TheOpportunityofaLifetime]

I have only seen a couple of videos and i already feel confident that I will learn a lot with what you teach thank you!

[@BryanInvest]

Welcome to the family! 😊

[@TheOpportunityofaLifetime]

@@BryanInvest so looking forward to implementing all this. I have been looking at info on investing but it was all applicable to US, so relieved to have found something for AUS that I can use. Thank You so much!

[@koningsp]

Burger! Would be nice to see a video going a bit more in depth on some of the parameters that can help us research specific stocks / ETFs. I'm thinking things like: volume, alpha, beta, NAV. I am a CommSec user and keen to learn more about the stock market, and while I've learned a lot over the past while, the amount of information can still be overwhelming.

[@BryanInvest]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely put it on my idea list for future videos!

[@JenniferJames-le6wj]

I'm interested in investing, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any advice or contacts who can help me out?

[@Alfrednells-tp6nv]

Investing can be complex, so it's smart to get professional guidance when building your financial portfolio.

[@AndrewMedina-jr7ko]

It's a great idea to have a conversation with financial advisors like Naomi Dean to reshape your portfolio.

[@JamesBrown-lq9qf]

I spread out my $25k portfolio across various markets to diversify my investments.

[@SherellDimaria]

Naomi Dean stands out from other brokers because of her realistic approach, unlike those who often set unattainable targets and fail to deliver. She's truly unique!

[@JenniferJames-le6wj]

How can I reach her?

[@chrisflabouris6140]

I'm new to Moomoo and I found this video to be very helpful, thank you!

[@BryanInvest]

Cheers Chris! I’m glad the video helped you 😎

[@pixiemoon2889]

I just finished the entire burger. Thank you for your videos. I've been learning a lot from them. Please make more ETF content 🤓🤓🤓

[@BryanInvest]

Awesome! Glad you enjoy my videos. I will definitely be making more ETF videos 😊

[@francoparadiso7719]

This may sound like a stupid question. If I get obtain my investment portfolio and have bought my ETF shares, do I need to constantly look daily and re invest daily or do I own it forever until/if I want to sell? or is it a set it and forget it method if I set up a DRP plan? this may sound confusing the way I have worded it

[@darrenbutler1765]

Why would you buy VOO instrlead of IVV with australian domiciling?

[@BryanInvest]

IVV is definitely the more cost/tax efficient choice for Aussies. I was just using VOO (since it's one of the most famous ETFs in the US) as an example only, not a recommendation.

[@bujarvenhari5236]

BURGER. Do I have to change from CHESS to Custodian if I want to invest in VOO?

[@goodrootshorticulture3240]

Can you look to do a video on changing trading account. I have a selfwealth account and would be interested to move my current portfolio over to moomoo.

[@BryanInvest]

Good idea. I’ll put it on my idea list! Thanks

[@kenthomas1613]

I would LOVE to know the best way to use equity in my home to buy shares, not property. Buying shares instead of property gives you better control on how you can service the loan (repayments), as buying property means you have to buy something that's around $1m and servicing that loan can be challenging. With shares, you can choose how much equity you feel comfortable servicing the loan repayments. So, instead of the pain in servicing an additional $1m loan for a property that you can use your equity to buy, why not use less equity to service a smaller loan like $300k which would be far easier to repay per month. Thanks for the great videos!!

[@BryanInvest]

Hey Ken, I actually cover this in this video about debt recycling. Basically you can use part of your home equity to apply for a new investment loan which you can use to buy shares. And if these shares are incoming producing (pay dividends) then you can claim a tax deduction on the interest you pay for that loan. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXW4e2VpgK6VkKs

[@AnasAZIZ-tb6jh]

Hi Bryan I have been following you since a month or two. I am doing my research to start investing in ETF. I can't find any video of yours to explain that should I go for broker like stake or go directly to vanguard site and buy their ETF? What are the pros n cons to that, using broker or buying ETF directly.

[@BryanInvest]

Hey mate, well you can use this video as a guide on why you should go for an online broker. Vanguard Personal Investor is very biased towards Vanguard products only. So the fees are more expensive if you want to invest in non-Vanguard stocks/ETFs. Plus it is no chess sponsored. The choice is clear in my opinion.

[@Too-old-Forthischet]

I' ve got $50,000 to invest. I want to build a nest egg for when I'm older. I want to know if it's a good idea to add all my savings into a long term ETF, set and forget Come back in 20-30 years, instead of 250-300 DCA every month. Which ETF would you recommend.?

[@SkepticalMechanic-l9x]

As they say, 'time IN the market is better than trying to time the market'. I think you should seek advice from a licensed financial advisor. They’ll give you guide on high risk and low risk investment strategies for your portfolio

[@AlbertGReene-p8w]

I’m working towards financial freedom with a focus on dividends & growth investing. Since 2014, I’ve built a portfolio made up of 50% SCHD, 25% SCHG, and 25% VOO, thanks to my financial advisor. This strategy has helped me earn $36,000 a year in dividends. Back in 2014, I only earned $21 in dividends.

[@BrianMattews-i7t]

Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve financial goals.

[@AlbertGReene-p8w]

Melissa Elise Robinson is the licensed advisor I use and im just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

[@americanopinions]

Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.

Were you suppose to mention that you have to convert your AUD to USD?

[@sayamolchampasa]

Hi, Bryan what is insufficient buying power mean? Even though I have enough money to buy shares or I need to deposit more? I am a bit confused

[@lukeburke7112]

Are there different ETFs that track the S&P 500?

[@azza3144a]

Found it the other day on commsec

[@michaeld2589]

I use the vanguard australia platform. There are no brokerage costs on purchase. Do you recommend?

[@BryanInvest]

Hmm...it's not bad if you only want Vanguard products. However, it doesn't have chess sponsorship and I like having other options. I personally don't use it.

[@nasa7466]

So how do u buy chess backed stocks? Is it automatically assigned to eligible shares?

[@nasa7466]

Burger 🍔 my bad lol

[@BryanInvest]

It depends on if you’re using a chess sponsored broker. If you are then all shares you buy from the broker will be chess sponsored. With Moomoo, it should default to chess sponsorship for any new accounts. If you were already a moomoo customer and don’t have a chess accouny, you can easily apply for one within a few minutes.

[@nasa7466]

@BryanInvest thanks Bryan, you da man!

[@sandragmis9078]

Burger. I still have so many things to learn. Thank you for your content Bryan 🙂

[@BryanInvest]

No problem! Good luck 😊

[@vivalavida_au]

Do you have any idea why residents of South Australia are not currently eligible to participate in the Free Shares Offer when creating a Moomoo account?

[@BryanInvest]

Hmmm.....can you show me where it says people from SA are not eligible?

[@pkerry12]

I wanna invest in efts about 80k aud for about 6 months. How much would I gain if invest in the eft your showed?

[@BryanInvest]

I would not recommend investing into any stocks or ETFs for 6 months. The returns are not guaranteed. If you really need the money back in 6 months, it’s probably better to just park in a high interest savings account or an offset account.

[@shibsmaths3258]

Do I need an ABN to start investing in stocks or ETFs?

[@shockwavegaming7370]

Nope

[@bgreer4752]

What about going through Vanguard directly, no fee investment

[@BryanInvest]

Not a bad option if you're only interested in Vanguard products. There are fees for non-vanguard stocks and it's not chess sponsored.

[@goofydavid100]

Could you make an updated video on how to invest in crypto as a rookie. I love your videos and I am an international student. Thank you for all your efforts Bryan!!!

[@nancy_mariela_vlogs]

Si when you say to invest a certain amount weekly or monthly am I buying more stock every month? Or every week, whenever it is that I put the money into the account? Am I buying more of the same etf’s or different ones? I want to get started but I’m confused on this part, loving your videos by the way

[@ashneel_fj24]

For international students it can't ?? Needs Australia Passport for verification

[@BryanInvest]

I checked with Moomoo and they said international students in Australia can also apply. You can provide your international passport.

[@sharndawg007]

Burger: If I am only interested in Vanguard ETFs, does it make more sense to open a Vanguard Personal Investor account?

[@BryanInvest]

Yes it could make sense since it's $0 brokerage to buy Vanguard ETFs with them. However, please note they are not chess sponsored.

[@bryndatan972]

[@damiancornelius1009]

Thanks Bryan. As a newbie with limited financial literacy, your videos have been great! Do you purchase your shares as an individual, or through a trust?

[@BryanInvest]

Hey Damian, thanks a lot. For now, I buy them as an individual. I’ll update you all if I ever change that.

[@bdn.4964]

Hey Bryan, great video! Is there a recommended minimum amount you wouldn't go below when investing daily/weekly/monthly? Thanks

[@BryanInvest]

Honestly, there is not set amount. Just invest what you can afford. Then as your income increases, contribute more.

[@mcdonylee]

Awesome video as always! Clear and easy to understand. Australia needs more videos really like this. Why do you think some of the broker out there have waay more higher fee such as commbank’s? Is moomoo legit despite CHESS sponsored?

[@BryanInvest]

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you find the video helpful. Moomoo has all the security measures in place to as safe and legit as any chess sponsored broker in Australia. Worse case scenario, if it goes bankrupt, your shares are under your name and you will be able to transfer it to another broker. The reason the other brokers like Commsec can charge higher is because they are established and already have the trust of the Australian public so they can charge a premium for essentially the same service. People are willing to pay more for companies they trust. It's kind of like how ING/Ubank pays a high interest rate but CBA/NAB can still offer a relatively low interest rate and people would still sign up since it's a big 4 (trusted) bank.

Hey Bryan, great video. I've been learning a lot from your videos lately. How many ETFs would you recommend in a portfolio?

[@mackoysantiago1280]

Good day Brian! I just started tuning every day to your contents. Its been a year since I started researching about investing and for a year I have been paralysed, meaning I didn’t start investing at all because of the fear of losing my money if the company that I bought stocks from would collapse and then I stumbled upon ETF’s! I didn’t know that this basket of stocks do exist and they exist for a long time now. So stupid of me I think. But upon learning a bit about it, I stopped the analysis paralysis and bought the nasdaq 100 etf. Now im seeing a lot of ads to subscribe to them and that they will give tips which ones to buy. Do I really need those when my plan is to invest in US, Aussie and bitcoin etfs? Thank you and more power

As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become financially stable, I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make over $400k like some people are this season.

[@LeylahCollins]

I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, ETFs etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.

[@alex-Yolan]

On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $350k since then

Due to the market falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this financial planner?
