What we cover: how the US market works and what drives long-term returns; choosing an international broker and understanding fees, currency costs and the W-8BEN form; ETFs vs individual stocks and how to build a core portfolio; diversification, position size and how much risk fits your situation; when and how to rebalance, and how to stay calm when the market falls.
What I do not do: I do not hold your money, place trades on your behalf or sell financial products on commission. I am not a stockbroker. Your account stays in your name and under your control.
Frequently asked questions
Can I invest in US stocks if I live in the UAE? Yes. Many international brokers accept clients living in the UAE. What matters is choosing a regulated broker, understanding the fees and completing the right tax forms.
Do you tell me exactly which stocks to buy? The focus is on structure and strategy: how much to put in each type of investment and why. You make the final choices.
How much money do I need to start? There is no fixed minimum. Many people start with a modest monthly amount and build from there.
