Lot's of folks ask me which broker I recommend and use and it's hands down Interactive Brokers. They've been in the game since 1977 and are a publicly listed company in the NYSE so you have trust and faith that they know what they're doing especially handling your hard earned money.
This video is for all of y'all looking to get started with IBKR. You can use my referral link to get started and you can get up to a bonus of $200 worth of free stock to get you started! Please play it on 0.75 speed if the current speed is too fast for you to follow along.
Also, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU OPEN A CASH ACCOUNT. NOT MARGIN!
Margin accounts are leveraged and basically you "borrow" money to control larger positions which if they go against you, you'll lose money immediately.
Cash accounts are 1:1 meaning 1 dollar controls 1 single unit of stock.
Flood this thread with questions if you get stuck and I'll be here to help!
