ABOUT THE VIDEO: I used to think the same, “I’ll go to my bank and open all my registered savings accounts.’ But here’s the first red flag: their savings account interest rate was at 0.01%. And then, with a straight face, my bank said my only investment options through them have management fees over 2%.​ Any MER calculator will show you, a 2% can quietly eat up thousands of dollars from your long-term savings. So I started looking at other providers. These 2 are my favourite because they have been in the business the longest and they charge the least in both commission and currency conversions. This video is about Questrade. It’s not sponsored. It’s just the broker I personally use. They are truly Canadian, let you open all Registered Savings Accounts… like TFSA, RRSP and more. They charge zero dollars in commission, and if you want to invest in the US markets, then they let you use Norbert’s Gambit to reduce your charges. ​So if you think it’s the right option for you too and if you are a complete beginner, then by the end of this video you will know how to open an account and buy your first stock or ETF. Because in today’s video, we are going to see.. 1) How I opened my Questrade account. 2) Funding my account 3) I’ll give you a quick demo of how I buy Index ETFs using the Questrade platform 4) A demo of how I perform Norbert’s Gambit to reduce my fees 5) And in the end, I’ll give you a Bonus Tip so that you don’t end up paying a lot of money in management fees. It’s going to be a fun video. So without further ado, let’s begin!
