How to start investing?


Investing is a great way to grow wealth. The key is to minimize the cost and maximize the return but you will have to keep a few things in mind. Doesn't matter if you have a couple of thousands or a hundred dollars you can always find a way to invest your money, from big blue chip to companies to investing in retirement plan available at your work.

First of all you need to determine what is your investment style and choose the right broker accordingly. If you are individual type and you want to explore the market and pick the stock that you like than online or discount broker might be the right for you. Once considered exception online brokers are now the norm. Considered as simple order takers they are the least expensive professionals licensed to buy stock on your behalf. You will be charged on per-transaction or per-share basis. Communication takes place over the phone or via internet. Broker tech support allows you buy and sell stock instantly through your account. They may provide you with helpful resources but you will not be getting investment advice and recommendations. This may not be a bad thing if you already posses knowledge or want to learn with little financial means. Discount brokers with assistance will give you a bit more information for small fee.

If you want to be guided through the investment process you have option of full service broker or roboadvisor. Full service broker will sit with you and spend time to get to know you personally and financially taking into consideration multiple factors and trying to develop the best financial plan that suits your objectives. They will assist you with estate and retirement planing, taxes, healthcare and everything related to money hence the name full service. Because of that they are more expensive than online brokers but it is not bad having one person managing all of your finances. For high net individuals money managers may be the best option, a highly skilled investment professional able to manage large portfolio of money and assets. Roboadvisors provide you with digital financial advice based on an algorithm. it offers low cost investment management. No matter real life or online broker they will provide you with advice based on your investment goals, desired return and amount of risk you are willing to take.

Most new investors choose between two options: individual stock or funds (mutual funds or exchange traded funds). Investors can buy shares from various companies but building diversified portfolio takes considerable investment. Mutual funds are professionally managed portfolios where in one transaction you can purchase many different stocks. Exchange traded funds tracks and index and its shares trade on the market like regular security. The good side of investing in funds is that they offer more diversified portfolio and reduce the risk that way but they usually don't have the same chances for big gains like with stock which are more risky but with more potential for big return.

It is very important to be aware of all costs of investing; brokers charge you commission on trades, when opening account it is likely there will be minimum deposit requirement, management expense ratio fee in mutual funds an so on. In order to avoid unplanned costs you as a new investor will need to do extensive research or contact Mina Mar Group and let us help you start your investment endeavor.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

  Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary brok
