What are you guys using for investing, stocks, bonds etc.?

Also, offshore savings accounts with high interest rates?

 

 

Interactive Brokers.  They happen to offer attractive interest rates on cash balances about USD 10,000/GBP 8,000.

So, you live in Thailand and got rejected when applying?

I've read a few comments online that sound similar to that.

Lately, I’ve been looking for ways to make my money work harder without too much effort. I’ve been messing around with different ways to invest, and one thing that’s worked for me is using a Forex EA https://forexflexea.com trading robot. It’s basically this automated system that does all the trading for you. What’s cool is that it uses something called virtual trades to figure out the best time to jump in, so I don’t have to stress about timing the market myself.

I use Interactive Brookers to invest in Stocks and bonds funds.

I applied with Thailand address, no issues.

When you sign up there is a list of evaluation questions such as how much experience to you have with investing, how much money do you have in savings, etc.  Based on results of your answering you may get declined.  They want to ensure people signing up have the means and knowledge to use the platform.

Even if you fail, you can take the question again.  

So answer the question as if you have a lot of experience in investing.

If you don't, read these resources.  Then you'll have a fine understanding.
