Hi Pieter, I've installed the easy equities app on my phone about a month ago, was too nervous to use it for a week then I just started going wild with absolutely no idea what I am doing. Now I've watched your whole video and even taken notes so I feel alot more focused!! My plan is long term, I'll be watching your other videos and starting the easy academy to try learn more. Thanks so much for opening my mind up to shares!!
Hey Maryanne. That is awesome to hear! The most important step is just to get started! Start with the basics, a broad market ETF, and then you can adjust your investment startegy as you learn more. You can check my monthly investment portfolio update videos to see how and where I invest my money, as well as my reasons, as that might help you understand important principles of investing
Bro, I'm a forex trader and the easy equities chart doesn't give currently price info,so where do I find info about how the stock is growing daily for certain business like naspers, or anglo American
Thanks so much Money Marx. I really respect your transparency, genuineness , and willingness to help others. You will one of the reasons why I am financially educated.
Thanks, Pieter, only started today searching about investments and bumped into your channel, just made it easy for me to understand the EE and I am ready to invest for the long term.
this is one of the best tutorials I ever came accross on RUclips on any subject. thanks so much oyu have made my hourney so easy, you just got one more loyal subscriber.
Thank brother for this, your explanation is on point..it's my first time watching someone takes time and effort to explain something like this👏 I want to start investing but I need more guidance, I can I find you were we can talk?
Hey Diederick. Only a pleasure. Thanks for watching! :) Sure, I haven't used it myself, but I am planning on testing it out next year and will then make a full tutorial on Easy Properties as well. :)
Thank you Pieter learnt a lot from this video, I am also few months old in easy equities really great information. Question: Does it mean you are buying at a loss if the buy At price is higher than the Sell At? Also please just clarify what that daily move means?
Only a pleasure :) The Buy At price will always be higher than the Sell At price, but the difference between the two \(the spread) may be different during different times of the day. So if you were to buy an ETF and then sell it immediately thereafter, you would have bought it for a higher price than what you can sell it for. This is why it is better to buy and hold when it comes to investing as you incur costs each time you buy and sell an asset. Daily move is basically how the share/ETF performed in the past 24 hours. :)
Hi thank you for an insightful tutorial I started without understanding most of the things…I’ve invested with capitec shares bought the fractional shares of R200 of the total value of R2100 recently so does this mean I have to keep on investing until I reach that amount or I can just wait to benefit over a certain period please assist…
Hey Kindy. Yes so the great thing with EE is you can invest in fractional shares, so even though you only bought R 200, you still own 9.5% of a whole share so you will still receive dividends in the same ratio. You can continue to invest until you reach a full share or you can just keep it as is. The only real benefit of owning a full share is that you get one voting right at the company's annual meeting, but very few people really care about this and not something that I really care too much about personally
Hi Pieter, I have joined the EE family and doing well on my portfolio. My concern is that I cannot find the section to add a beneficiary should something happen to me. Any advice on this? Your videos are very informative a pleasure to watch. Keep it up.
What happens to my EasyEquities account if I die? We have an Estate Late process that occurs once an Easy account holder has died. It is therefore imperative that you have outlined your wishes for your funds and holdings in your Will and Testament. A family member or the estate executor will need to submit a ticket with the following documentation so we can action the estate late process. 1. Certified copy of death certificate / and stamped ID (confirming death) 2. Certified letter of Executorship 3. Certified copy of ID / Passport / Driver’s license of executor 4. Bank details of the estate (Stamped by the bank) 5. Copy of utility bill of executor (showing physical address) 6. Resolution (if more than one executor) 7. A written instruction regarding the funds and the account from the Administrators / Attorneys of the Estate. Transfers into another EasyEquities account Should you wish that the portfolio be transferred to the beneficiary’s Easy account then we require a Will and Testament and a completed and signed Change of Beneficial form. We require new and updated certification that is stamped and dated so we can assist further. Once we have all the above, we can carry out the instructions indicated in the Will and Testament and send you the updated statements of the deceased account. - Got this on thier website
Hi Pieter,Thanks for the video.I have been using easy equities for a while now.I just have a question -How long can you hold on to dollars on the platform without investing?
Hey Jacob. Glad to hear that! There isn't a set rule as to how long the USD can be kept as cash, but you won't earn much interest on it so it is better to invest it otherwise inflation will eat away at its value over time.
Hi Pieter I just started with Easy Equities And i wanted to deposit money into my account but it says it has to be verified Besides from uploading my banking details,long does it take for it to verify my account?
Hey Walter. Yes you can make use of the EasyFX transfer function to convert ZAR to USD and vice versa. I made a guide on how to use the EE USD account as well if you want to check it out :)
brother , I have been a follower for a while now. I have money deposited on my easy equities, and have been trying to invest it, but it is not moving out of the account. i wrote emails to easy equities but i am not getting help and its two already without a direct help. Can you help me sir?
Are there brokers for options? I am overseas at the moment use the Tastytrade brokerage for options, would like to find a brokerage in S.A for retail options trading? I think Interactive brokers allows international accounts for South Africans. Do you have any experience in this?
