I prefer TD Ameritrade and Interactive Brokers for foreign stocks.

Question for the group. Let's say you come into a large sum of money. How do you invest/preserve it to maximize its value to you and your family?

Do you put it in a low-risk, dividend-paying mutual fund and earn like 5% in income?
Do you take some of it and buy an annuity?

I'd like to hear ideas.

I'm playing the value cheap unloved sectors. Necessary for humanity. Commodities are at an all time low and in shortage because we're doing everything we can to starve capital ESG reasons.

I'm still scaling in each sector but have a look at Copper, Shipping, Battery metals, offshore oil and gas, rare earths, Russian oil and gas, Uranium, Gold/Silver, Coal, Agriculture, Natural gas. I can't go into each sector. I use Interactive Brokers for foreign stocks. When you have the same demand and regulations taxes etc lack of capital what to you think gas and oil go? Working great for me and if we get a correction it's fine because I'm in value plays and not buying tech crap at ATH. This is Long Term. Short term I'll trade whatever. Hope this helps!

Question is, what do I do about my $0.79 cents?

Call them up and ask? I'm guessing you could have them close the account and write you a check for the balance.

You're absolutely right, I was mostly kidding. Chances are I'll get a gig with another corporate etrade account so for now I'm just letting it sit. Not really worth my time.
