@raemp All of them. The etoro bid/ask is much higher than the exchanges. As soon as you buy you're in the red

@raemp Do what feels best for yourself. But I just would really like to emphasize how awful I think etoro is. I used to use it but left after cancelled orders would get filled hours after cancelling them and the spreads being incredibly high and not being able to purchase securities because...

@raemp I'm not too sure about the benefits but I personally would prefer to own the underlying security especially for a long term investment as if the broker was ever to go under you could possibly lose your investment. I honestly dont know whether all this is true but it's something I'd look...

@daniel001 My reasons for hating etoro: 1. Incredibly high spreads on bid/ask 2. Doesn't list a large number of small-mid cap stocks on Nasdaq 3. It blocks trading when the market gets busy. Microsoft stock is going up fast? Oh no sorry you can't buy it right now. 4. Several bugs with orders...

@porcupine73 I'm sure you could create a standing order to make monthly deposits into DEGIRO or IB. If you plan on using the account as a pension type account I'd recommend DEGIRO as IB have monthly fees for data and account maintenance etc.

@porcupine73 I use Degiro for my 'safe' investments so I have a good bit of my capital in there invested in established companies and some long term investments. I also use interactive brokers but that is for my 'fun' money. I put about 800 in that account a year ago and i have not and will not...
