10% markup is just criminal. If you are buying at 10% markup, you are already at such a disadvantage it's not even worth investing your money.

That’s what I thought too...

There’s an explanation on the site tho! But doesn’t make any sense to me whatsoever because other brokerages aren’t doing that.

Iamsoulomon:


Trove more than 2% and chaka mark up stock price 10%. Bro using meristem do you usually fill forms to receive your dividends?

Is this 10% Chaka mark up for both Nigerian and foreign stocks?

Any idea if Bamboo mark up too?

Is the fees different as shown on their online fee calculator?

No bro the 10% is only on Nigerian stock and the mark up is not a fee so it won’t show in the calculator... bamboo doesn’t

In the picture is what I’m talking about, the price below is what you get charged per share

Thanks for the clarification.

What if u use "limit order" instead of "Market order"?

I used bank account statement for proof of address. For deposit I used SKRILL.

Is it compulsory I use a TIN for registration? And did you use a TIN while registering?

Yes, I used TIN. I'm not sure if there's any alternative.

Hi All, I have followed this thread from the first page and have gleaned insights on equities et al. Thanks @Oakpearl, @YerYer, and others for this wealth of information. I would like to know if any of the Fintech apps (Trove, Chaka, or Bamboo) offers special orders option (Stop orders and Limit orders) for fractional shares and if any allows withdrawal to a USD domiciliary account at the moment.

Oh I have no idea. I don't use any of them

damurphy:

Can I as an individual register for the TIN? If so what are the criteria and documents needed? Will I get the number instantly and then collect the card on a later date?

it's easy. Go to any FIRS office and request for TIN form. They'll require document for identification you'll get the number after 10 days.

Edited: Stop & Limit Orders for fractional shares? - NO for Bamboo & Trove- Only available for whole shares. Can’t say for Chaka

Withdrawal of into a USD acc? YES for Bamboo (you’ll be charged $45 for Wire Transfer fee tho), MOST LIKELY for Trove. I haven’t tried USD withdrawal on Trove just yet, but I believe you can following the logic that you can fund your Trove account with a Dom Account. Can’t say for Chaka

YerYer:


Absolutely, a little bit of luck plays a role. Imagine you buy high quality stocks today and tomorrow Russia attacks a NATO ally; it's safe to say the market will sell off. These are inherent risks that comes with investing. Long term investors will still have ample time to recover their loss but if it's a speculative trade like the short dated call option, its toast. The most important thing is having a higher win to loss ratio over a long period of time and that's not just pure luck.

I'm glad I slept off Friday morning, it was a bloodbath I didn't want to witness. EBAY, FSLY & DOCU saved me though.

All 3 are solid! FSLY the only green in my portfolio on Friday with FB doing the most damage. Ironically just sold DOCU to buy INO and SPOT. EBAY is crazy tho!! Already achieved 100% YTD already. Definitely getting a slice when next I rebalance my portfolio

Congrats bro. Fastly (FSLY) is moving too fast abeg . EBAY needs to move to $100 so I can retire. But seriously you have some nice stocks that are poised to thrive during the pandemic. Hopefully I join you in buying SPOT this week, I won't miss this train.

Please regarding funding via USD to trove account, is the minimum still 1k dollars?

Hello Oakpearl,


Limits have been functional for at least 2 months.

The only caveat is that limits cannot be placed for fractional shares, has to be a whole share e.g - 47 units or 10 units. If you try placing a limit for 47.25, it would not go through.

OakPearl:


Thank you for the updates.

Hello Penboy,


Thanks for the kind words. It was actually never $1,000. We just used to advise people against sending smaller amounts due to transfer fees that banks charge for domicilliary transfers but at the end it is up to you.

You can transfer $50 or even $15 if you want to.

Impressive features tommieen. Great work Sir.

Please how long does it take from successful USD card funding to when the money becomes available for shares purchase?

@YerYer or any other person that uses eToro here, I honestly don't understand their app/website, is it only meant for trading because I cannot find the typical BUY/SELL options?

Thanks Tobex.

Typically, the funds become available for use on the next business day.

Try out the virtual/demo portfolio to have a good grasp. Meanwhile click on the search icon, enter ticker and click on Trade. Select whichever is applicable BUY/SELL

You don't need TIN to register. Just type Not Legally Required. I have opened an account with them and it just took me a day. The problem is the depositing.
You need skrill and I don't know how to go about it.
