Want to invest in foreign stocks but don't know where to start? I just found an article summarizing three different methods. One is through international equity mutual funds. If you're a beginner who has never invested before, I recommend this method because it's the easiest. Just choose a fund based on your preferred policy, such as investing in American stocks, Chinese stocks, or global stocks, and let the management team handle it.
Another method is buying foreign stocks via CFDs, which has become more popular recently. You can trade both upward and downward trends, with high liquidity, but the risk is also higher. The third method is purchasing individual stocks directly through a brokerage that offers foreign stock services, similar to buying Thai stocks but earning returns from price increases and dividends.
For stocks of interest this year, AI remains the main trend. NVIDIA still leads in GPU chips, which are central to AI worldwide. Microsoft remains strong with its Copilot integrated into various products. Eli Lilly benefits from the trend of preventive healthcare. ASML seems to be selling shovels during the gold rush, and Visa continues to benefit from the shift toward a cashless society.
Honestly, I was initially worried it would be complicated, but after studying it, buying foreign stocks isn't as difficult as I thought. The key is choosing a method that suits you and matches your risk tolerance. Has anyone tried it? Let me know where to start.
