You never know, stocks might be cheaper next week anyway, so perhaps it’s for the best. I was testing US Stocks (great job by the way freetrade, all worked well apart from one trade) and I bought some Tesla yesterday after the drop, and just before it plunged some more
it’s safest not to buy tesla eh
heh, we’ll see. It’s certainly a risky choice right now. I did buy lots of others as well.
Are airlines tricky in the US too (ownership)?
Good job guys! My dad has always joked that I should own shares in Apple and now I do. Process was super smooth and not a hint of glitch.
Just got the US Stocks It’s as beautiful as I imagined!
Order went through beautifully Hats off to all Freetrade
Side note, will you be adding buys & sells to the Activity tab? Along with Market Buy Contract Notes?
Still checking my phone every few minutes for the notification
Got US stocks added Today will be topping up tonight ready to take my first step in the investment world Tomorrow!! Great job Freetrade team. Let’s hope I’m thanking you in 10 years time as well
That’s quite surprising, in this age of real-time feeds and instant notifications. Is there a reason for the delay?
Yes I think they should fix this long term, I found it surprising as well, though I’d suggest other things like Android are more pressing at the moment. I’m sure there’s a lot of features the freetrade team would like to add and will add over time.
Good question. This is a first iteration of the process, so there is a delay before it gets displayed in your app. We will be improving that in the near future so that they’re nearly instantaneous.
Nice to see a response like this. Thanks Hugh
I did it! I bought my first US stock and I’m now a Disney shareholder, haha. Never thought I’d say those words.
This genuinely feels like a big moment in my life, I’m really thankful to freetrade for bringing this opportunity to normal people like me who don’t have huge sums to invest.
Thanks to all involved!
This is brilliant to hear. Exactly what freetrade set out to establish, an easier way and more affordable way for normal people to become aware of share dealing
There’s something quite special about buying shares from the US
Agreed. I had bought some Nasdaq trackers, plus UK shares previously but this felt different and very exciting.
