What good are newbies starting to invest in, stock ETFs, DR funds?

What's different? What works for you? 🧐

* Shares = buy "company" directly.

* Total fund = Take the money to an administrative professional.

* Exchange Traded Fund ETF = A fund that trades like a stock.

* DR (Depositary Receipt) = Buy "Overseas Shares / ETFs" through the Thai market

📊 1) Shares (Stock)

Meaning:

You own that company directly, for example, buy PTT = own part of PTT.

Advantage

* Get a dividend

* 100% self-control

The downside

Advantage

* Diversify

* Do not choose the stock yourself

* Very suitable for new hands

📊 3) ETF (Exchange Traded Fund): An "index-based" fund, such as the S & P500, but trades like a stock.

Advantage

* Trade immediately like a stock.

* Automatic diversification

The downside

* A stock account is required.

* Not "win the market" (just by the market)

👉 Fits: People who "want to invest long-term + don't want to choose stocks."

📊 4) DR (Depositary Receipt): Buy Foreign Stocks / ETFs "Through Thai Market"

Advantage
