If you sell while it's at $500 then you got to keep $90 profit and that's the end of the story. No tricks.

for some reason it ended on its own and i have 500 usd now....why did it end? Is there a limit how much you can earn?

I recall when we last had a surge of Russians come here years ago, I had issues a couple of times with them trying to get in front of me at supermarket checkouts..... not had that happen, so these must be polite and well mannered Russians. 

didnt the crazed russkie trash the 7/11 store recently on beach road?

but it is so clear how thailand can change....before covid i was stopped on motorbike in pattaya almost every few days...and checked for drivers licence.....but when i cam back after covid....you did not even need a helmet for <deleted> sake....and they stopped me only once in 5 months...before they stopped me like 20 times.....

If you get to $0 then you are done. Probably before that because there are usually minimum requirements on margin trading and that's what it is... CFDs on margin. What that means is that you borrowed money from eToro. If you put $100 in an SPX500 with a 5% payment it means you bought $2000 of that contract with eToro lending you $1900. If the SPX500 (it's not the S&P500) goes down 5% to $1900 your $100 will be forfeit. eToro will take it because they can't let you go into a negative. Normally a broker wont let you go to $0 exactly and will force sell it for you before that because things can move fast and prices are not 100% guaranteed to hit what a seller asks for. That's called liquidation. When you are liquidated both your money is gone and the asset is gone. If the SPX500 after that were to gain again it wont mean anything to you because you don't have an open position anymore. And that's the difference to just buying a stock. When you buy stock in an S&P500 ETF like SPY without margin you wont get liquidated because you didn't borrow money and the broker doesn't have any risk. In a crisis you can just wait until it recovers. It might take a few years but unless the US economy permanently goes to sh*t then it will eventually recover. Of course a stock of a specific company can lose money permanently. But the S&P500 as an index of the biggest companies is as safe as possible when it comes to stocks. As always though lower risk = lower reward and vice versa.

ok so what i wanted to buy is ETF and not CFD..... i invested 410 it went to 300 next 2 days and now it is over 500....i better withdraw. so if i seel it now i get all the profit or not? Is there some trick for selling CFD?

You certainly bought a leveraged product with etoro. Means your profit/loss is e.g. 5 or 10 times higher/lower than the real market.

Unfortunately as a EU citizen you can not buy SPY or QQQ (stupid EU regulations) but there are other ETFs replicating the SP500 index approved by the EU. I also would go for IB or Schwab, with IB you can keep your money in European currency...

 

tasty trade is another US broker currently offering 500$ top up if you fund your account with a minimum of 25,000 us$. Currently thinking of opening a 2nd account with them... Now I am with IB Pro, pay about 25 cents for a limit order with 100 stock, which is quite good given that there interest on margin is the best in the industry...

so should i sell my sp500 right now....when it drops...i will loose all 450 usd....but when it grows i will ger profit again? 

How does it work...it is is 5 - 10 times higher it is ok....but if I loose everything and then the index grows if I am still 0 that is bad.....

so to explain in more simple termns

if index falls for 5 % ane I am wiped out is the permanent wipeout or I can get my money back if it gains 5 % again?

I bought tesla and apple before and it was easy to track and understand it...this sp500 index is very confusing for me....

also crypto is easy to understand

No need to pay more than 5k THB for comfy housing, if that's your choice.

 

Personally I'd choose townhouses over condos, as probably wouldn't use the amenities, (pool/gym) if having.  Prefer less neighbors, ground floor entrance, and parking right in front of the house.

 

Usually more m² for the same price w/kitchen for home cooking, vs a condo or rented room, on that low end price point.

how much u pay for townhouse?

Please don't buy financial products that you don't even know what they are. CFDs are banned in the US. They are not real stocks but financial contracts to bet on price movements and often allow for leverage (stay the hell away from that). eToro probably offered you some low payment like 5% or 10% which gives you a 20x or 10x leverage. So if the SP500 then moves 1.5% it could move 30% in your position. You hopefully can see how that might quickly wipe out your position.

this is what i bought....first few days i was down to 300 usd now i am more than what i put in

i really dont understand what I bought and I guess I am betting on the fluctuation of the price? can you read anything from this picture? I thought I was buying 10 % of te sp500 I did not know you cant buy it like other stocks lol 

what about SCHWAB if you are from EU? DO they report taxes to EU? Probably they do? How safe is it to open account from Eueope at SCHWAB

i am european and I bought a little for few hundred on etoro

but the next day i lost 150 usd immediately...i thought i was buying a real stock like tesla, apple, but i bought 

CFD sp500  and I was shocked....I dont really understand what I bought because the SP500 did not go down for 33% in few days....

but today I am in a plus of 16%.... I dont understand what I bought and why my profit fluctuates so fast...lol

I'm guessing the "transgender" doesn't yet have a snatch, so should be the gold tackler.

go check interview with ladyfruitcakes....they always cry they cant get a job because there is a strong discrimination in thai society regrding ladyfruitcakes getting a good job....it is true

buffalo fee

the problem with ladyfruitcakes is that thai society shuns them and they cant get a proper job, so they either steal, or sell their bodies....same as blacks in USA...so they have to steal, but stealing from 2 russkies....that does not bother me a lot

It is not the Russian people responsible for the war in Ukraine, that lies with Putin.  Hence the amount of Russian young men trying to flee the call up.

i wonder if they are really against the war or just dont want to die.....that is the big question. I know some are against of course but then you see old babushkas happy for their retarded Putin leader and would sacrifice their sons just to serve the Judo Botox Tiranic Killer

she can wait till she get deported...she will stay in a cell for a while then get a free ticket home....problem solved....and she will be off drugs too

I was on koh samui weather few months ago, when it was raining every day and the temps were around 25 degrees....but now it seems to be the only place bearable with temps around 30 degrees which is ideal temperature.....

bkk is 35 or more...pattaya 33....chiangmai almost 40...i mean these places are unbearable for sober tourists, excluding vodka fuelled russkies and other falangs who likes to chug the sweet water all the time and dont feel any heat at all

so i guess koh samui is summer destination....other places in thailand makes even you  sweat profusely...

just my 50 bahts here

I do not like Jasmine Rice and even less Basmati. The very worst is paraboiled rice. This is for the brands I have tried. But I have a Thai Wife who eats nothing like Jasmine Rice and restaurants serve anyway nothing else.

 

At home, I eat Japanese Rice which is FAR superiour in taste for me. There is an American Brand "Kokuho Rose Rice" which is medium grain that is absolutely phantastic, too. But this one (see picture) is not available in Thailand as far as I know, so I need to stick to imported real Japanese short grain, which is extremely tasty, but as well extremely expensive.

does nuclear radiation come as extra?

You (or someone) is cooking your Jasmine incorrectly. I love both and can (and do) sub one for the other quite often, depending on what's available. 

ban all the rice cookers because they cant properly cook jasmin rice.....ban rice cookers and jasmin rice from thailand...i am creating my petition now, 100 vodka loving russkies already signed up

You dont live here, and really know little to nothing about Thailand base on your posts. Again it was quite the rant. Perhaps India next year with your love of basmati. 

yeah i dont and I dont know how you can take daily 35 degrees or more...you must sweat your asscrack off
