I just reviewed how the Mexican market is doing in 2026, and honestly, there are interesting things happening. The Bolsa Mexicana de Valores remains the second-largest in Latin America, but what catches my attention is how these brokerage houses in Mexico are showing surprising resilience despite everything that’s going on globally.
In April, the S&P/BMV IPC was up around 22% over the past 12 months. To put it in perspective: the S&P 500 was only around 5% over the same period. That’s quite significant. The Mexican market is made up of 145 listed companies, but the concentration is enormous: o

I've been trying out different trading apps for a while, and the truth is not all of them are the same, especially if you start with little money. I've seen people get frustrated because they can't find an interface that is truly intuitive and accessible.
The best mobile trading app I've found for beginners is definitely Mitrade. The reason is simple: you can start with just $20 USD, and the interface doesn't overwhelm you with unnecessary buttons. It has integrated TradingView charts, no execution commissions, and best of all, it comes with $50,000 USD in demo funds to practice risk-free for

Recently, I was researching how to invest in oil in Mexico and I was surprised to discover that there are many more options than I thought. It’s not just buying shares of oil companies, but you can also trade CFDs, futures, ETFs... it really depends on what type of trader you are.
The first thing I noticed is that oil has two main benchmarks: Brent (which moves two-thirds of the global market and is more sensitive to geopolitical crises) and WTI (American crude, which reacts strongly to macroeconomic data from the United States). For someone just starting out, the correlation between the two i

I just reviewed how the Mexican stock market is moving in 2026, and honestly, what's happening is surprising. While everyone was focused on the U.S. markets, companies listed on the Mexican stock exchange have been accumulating profits that clearly surpass what you see in the S&P 500. The S&P/BMV IPC index has gained nearly 22% over the past 12 months. For context, the S&P 500 has barely risen around 5% in the same period.
What’s interesting is that this is happening in a quite complicated context: Trump in his second term, initial tariffs of 25% or 50% on Mexican products, inflation hovering

I have been reviewing how many investors confuse the rights of common and preferred shareholders, so I decided to delve deeper into this. The reality is that not all shares are the same, and understanding these differences can completely change your investment strategy.
The first thing to know is that companies mainly issue two categories of shares with very different characteristics. Common and preferred shareholders have fundamentally different rights over profits and company control, and this directly affects your profitability and risk.
Common shares are the most traditional type. They giv

I just did some research on apps for investing and making money without needing a huge capital, and honestly, there are quite interesting options right now. I used to think you needed thousands of dollars to start, but it turns out that's not the case.
I found these five platforms that people use a lot and all are regulated, so they are safe. The one that caught my attention the most is MiTrade, especially if you're new to this. You can start with just $20, and the interface is super clean, without unnecessary clutter. They have integrated TradingView charts, and you can trade stocks, cryptocu

As you delve into the world of investing, you realize that there are important differences between participations and shares that many investors are not clear about. I myself spent time confusing these terms, so I decided to research thoroughly.
The difference between participations and shares is deeper than it seems at first glance. Shares are parts of the capital of a Corporation, while participations can be issued by any type of company. But that’s just the beginning.
As a shareholder, you have rights that go beyond receiving dividends. You can vote at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, you

So you want to understand what lot size is in Forex, huh? Well, it's probably the first thing you need to master if you're going to trade currencies seriously.
Look, when I started in this, I spent hours trying to understand how it worked. The main difference with stocks is that in Forex, you don't buy individual units. Everything is handled in standardized packages called lots. Basically, lot size is your number one tool to control risk because it determines exactly how much money you're going to put into each trade.
Let's think about what lot size is in simple terms. It's a standardized meas

I just reviewed the market and there’s something most beginners don’t see clearly: it’s not that there’s a single best coin to invest in, but that it depends entirely on your risk tolerance and your goals. Let me share what I’m observing.
The crypto ecosystem remains a minefield for newcomers. There are scams everywhere, projects promising impossible returns, and extreme volatility that liquidates accounts in minutes. But here’s the interesting part: if you focus on established assets, you face much less risk.
Look, Bitcoin continues to be the ‘digital gold’ for a reason. It’s on all exchanges

I just reviewed several trading apps with little money, and it's amazing how accessible everything has become. Years ago, you needed thousands to start, now you can do it with $20. I tried MiTrade for its clean interface, AvaTrade if you want more power with MT4/MT5, and eToro if you prefer copying experienced traders. Plus500 and XM also have their features, but it depends on your style. What surprised me is that most don't charge commissions, only spreads. If you're a beginner looking for a simple trading app, MiTrade seems like the most straightforward option. But honestly, before investing

Recently, I was looking for apps to start trading without having to put in a huge amount of capital, and honestly, the market has changed quite a bit. You no longer need thousands of dollars to get into the game. I found several interesting options worth knowing about.
MyTrade was the one that caught my attention the most because you can literally start with $20. The interface is super clean, no unnecessary buttons. What I liked is that it integrates TradingView charts directly, and you can trade stocks, forex, gold, Bitcoin—all from a single account. They have a demo account with $50,000 virt

A while ago, I was reviewing which stocks with future potential were worth considering for that 2024 period, and honestly, the outlook looked quite interesting. The markets were in an upward phase, inflation was decreasing, and all signs pointed to possible interest rate cuts.
The first thing that caught my attention was Alphabet. The company was experiencing a 58% year-over-year growth at that time, and its focus on artificial intelligence with Gemini seemed serious. What I liked was that its P/E ratio was at 29, significantly lower than the sector average which exceeded 35. That suggested ro

Recently, I was testing various stock market simulators and was quite surprised to discover that not all of them work the same way. Most people believe they are the same, but in reality, there are significant differences between a real-time stock simulator on an educational platform and a demo account from a broker.
Simulators are mainly tools for learning, while demo accounts show you exactly what it would be like to trade with real money. The difference is that simulators are educational, but demo accounts reflect the actual experience of a broker: the same tools, the same assets, everything

I just read an entire guide on how to invest in oil, and honestly, there are some interesting things I didn't know. The market is quite turbulent right now—lockdowns are putting pressure on global supply, we're talking about 20% according to the EIA. Prices can move a lot in a single day, especially if something happens in the Middle East or if OPEC+ makes strong decisions.
What caught my attention is that investing in oil isn't just betting on the price of crude. It serves as a hedge against inflation because oil is everywhere—fuel, plastics, fertilizers. If the dollar loses value, oil goes u

I've been trying out different apps for investing money with a small capital, and honestly, the options have improved a lot. At first, I thought I needed thousands to start, but that's not the case.
MiTrade surprised me quite a bit. The interface is clean, without unnecessary clutter, and you can start with just $20. It has integrated TradingView charts, and you can diversify between stocks, forex, Bitcoin, gold. For someone just starting out, it's quite accessible.
If you already have experience, AvaTrade is another level. Founded years ago, it offers MetaTrader 4 and 5, over 1200 assets, and

I've been observing the GBP/EUR pair for a while, and there's something many people don't understand well: knowing when it's better to exchange pounds for euros isn't just about looking at a number on the screen. It's a full analysis.
The pound-euro exchange rate basically represents how many euros you need to buy one British pound. If you see 1.17, it means one pound is worth 1.17 euros. It seems simple, but behind it is a complex story that directly affects your exchange decision.
Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the pound has been under constant pressure. Before that, it traded comforta

Recently, I was looking for where to start investing with little money, and I was surprised to discover that nowadays you don't need to be a millionaire to get into trading. I found several options and wanted to share what I learned because honestly, it changed my perspective.
MyTrade was the one that caught my attention the most at first. The interface is clean, without unnecessary clutter, and you can open a position in seconds. The best part is that you start with only $20 and they give you $50,000 in virtual money to practice risk-free. It integrates TradingView charts directly, so you hav
