Hi there!
If you've reached this page, it means you're quite keen on starting your stock trading journey.
Many of my readers have asked about how to get onboard the trading train or simply which broker should they use.
This page is here to answer all of your questions!
As you know, I’ve been investing for a while now and in the past couple years I’ve advocated for digital investing in particular. It gives you control over not just how much you want to invest but what and when you want to invest! Plus it’s way cheaper which means you get to keep more of the profits.
So here’s the 411 on getting started.
I recommend signing up with Rakuten Trade!

Alright, you’ve signed up! Now what?...
Well, this is everything you need to know before you start trading. Together with Rakuten Trade, I've curated some tips and tricks to make you a SMARTER trader.
