How to trade stocks in 2021. Beginners Guide

Author: Timofey Zuev

Dear Clients and Partners,​

To start trading stocks, you need your main instrument – a trading account. You can open it either at a broker or bank. However, how do you choose the right and reliable company if you’re completely new to the market?

We’ve made a checklist for you.

Checklist for choosing a broker

1. Make sure that the financial organization is licensed. You can easily find all the documents on the official website of the company.

2. Check for how long a company has been operating on the market. No secret that the longer this period, the more reliable a company becomes. Choose brokers that are at least 5 or, even better, 10 years “old”.

3. Check the trading conditions. You are interested in the following:

• Commission fees for money depositing and withdrawal: whether they are high or low.
• Fees for trading stocks – of course, the lower, the better.
• The number and types of available instruments: if a broker allows trading premium-class stocks only, such as Tesla or Google, you might simply be short of money to invest in them. Diversity is the key here.

How to define the amount of investments?

Now you need to decide how much you are investing in stocks.

On one hand, the answer to this question looks simple: invest as much as you can afford to lose. This is the most rational approach.

The larger your investment – the higher your potential profit, but the greater your risks. There’s no magic number that is suitable for all the traders in the world.

Also, account for the volume of your investment (or, how many stocks you buy) and the price of one asset (meaning the price of 1 stock). Moreover, note that some brokers set a minimum investment for trading stocks which can be practically any sum they want.

The most important events of the financial world in 2020

Author: Server Ametov

Dear Clients and Partners,​

It’s not the middle of January yet but the events we are so eager to tell you about are numerous. We’re definitely not going to deny ourselves the pleasure, so let’s get started.

1. Bitcoin set a new record

On January 8th, the Bitcoin price reached the new all-time high – 40599.3 USD per coin. Since the beginning of the year, the first cryptocurrency has grown by 40.24% or 11649.9 USD.

Traders that expected the BTC to fall playing short lost almost 800 million USD in just 24 hours. However, note that the record price didn’t last long: after January 8th, the rate started declining; by the time this article was being written, it had lost 12.7%, reaching 33340.8 USD.

At the beginning of January, JPMorgan analysts forecast that in the long run, the BTC would reach 146 thousand USD per coin. Their conclusion is based on the actual statistics that show an outflow of investments from gold reaching 7 billion USD while the inflow of investments in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust reaching 3 billion USD.

Catherine Coley, the head of the Binance US department, voiced an opinion that by the end of the year the BTC would have reached 100 thousand USD.

As for Sonny Singh, the marketing director of the Bitpay crypto payment system, he warns of a steep decline of the BTC back to 20 thousand USD. He states that institutional investors might start a super-scale sale at any moment.


2. Elon Musk became the richest person in the world

On January 8th, Tesla quotations leaped by almost 8%, reaching 880 USD per stock, which event reshuffled the list of the world’s richest people. Now the fira+96st line is occupied by Elon Musk, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at 189.7 billion USD.

This swift growth is explained by the stable production and sales performance: last year, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemics and the overall economic decay, Tesla produced 509.7 thousand and sold 499.9 thousand electric cars.

Note that in 2020, mister Musk, with his 27 billion USD of fortune, hardly entered the top-50 of the world’s richest people. And now he managed to overshadow Jeff Bezos, who had been number one since 2017. According to Forbes, today the fortune of Amazon's founder reaches 185.7 billion USD.
