The influence of the three major American stock indexes

The three major American stock indexes are the weathervanes of global financial markets. In many cases, its fluctuation will affect the financial markets of various countries to varying degrees.

First of all, the total market value of US stocks is very large. Its share in the global stock market also exceeds 40%, and its influence can be seen from the data.

Second, the current global currency is the US dollar, which is the currency issued by the United States. Therefore, the United States can control its currency to meet the challenges of various stages of the US financial market, thus consolidating the position of US stocks in the global financial market.

How do US stocks withdraw from the market?

The American stock market is the largest and most market-oriented investment market in the world. Among them, "big entry and big exit" is the full embodiment of the mechanism of survival of the fittest and the function of resource allocation in the US stock market.

In the IPO examination system, the American stock market adopts the "registration system" with double constraints of honesty and legal system.

In terms of delisting standards, the US stock market has adopted both financial delisting standards and market delisting standards.

Because of this, the American stock market can be handled freely and make waves; For this reason, the American stock market has cultivated a number of world-renowned great enterprises, such as Microsoft, Intel, Apple, IBM and so on.

As we all know, the delisting standards and listing standards of the US stock market are generally symmetrical. For example, listing standards include financial standards (such as total assets, net assets, net profit, etc. ) and market-oriented standards (such as the number of shareholders, stock price, market value, public shareholding). Similarly, delisting standards are symmetrically designed into two series: financial standards and market-oriented standards.

According to the analysis of different situations of more than 7,000 delisting companies, the reasons for delisting can be roughly divided into three categories:

First, it is automatically and independently delisted due to mergers and acquisitions or privatization;

Second, it was forced to withdraw from the market passively because it did not meet the financial standards or marketization standards for continuous listing;

Third, delisting due to corporate negligence or illegal behavior.

How to buy American stocks

Step 1: Open an account.

In fact, the conditions for opening an account for US stocks are not harsh and difficult. First, go directly to the United States to open an account, but this is obviously not suitable for most small partners, and they need to have a fixed residence or business contacts in the United States. Second, through domestic agents, through entrusting merchants to place orders, and then from merchants to local brokers in the United States, this method has poor timeliness and high handling fees. The third way is to open an account through the Internet, which is the way most investors will adopt. The third way is mainly introduced here.

Internet brokers are divided into US stock brokers and US stock brokers. So what are the conditions for these two ways to open an account in the US stock market? The former is more worry-free in terms of capital guarantee, but the account opening process is cumbersome and requires capital reserves. The latter has a good account opening experience, but it needs screening. The profit penetration cost of American securities companies is very low. American stock brokers can't directly apply for taking photos in the United States, but basically do it themselves in China, such as Tiger Securities, Futu Securities, Snow Eagle Securities and Micro-Bull Securities. It is very simple for such brokers to open an account. They just need to follow the prompts to register and provide valid documents.

In this way, you can start to operate US stocks in China, but it should be mentioned that at present, except Tiger Securities, most domestic brokers need us to prepare an overseas card.

Overseas cards refer to bank cards issued by overseas banking institutions. Its business is popular all over the world, and it is very convenient for capital to enter and exit. For investors, no matter which brokerage firm they choose, the advantages of handling an overseas card always outweigh the disadvantages.

Obviously, the best way to apply for an overseas card is to go abroad. If you travel to countries with free entry and exit funds, such as the United States, Canada, Singapore and so on. You can apply for a wild card by the way. Compared with other methods, this method needs the lowest cost and consumes the least energy.

It is relatively convenient to get a card in Hong Kong. The bank cards applied for are similar to those applied for in the United States, Canada and Singapore. However, some banks have a relatively high threshold for handling, and sometimes even want to buy some high-end wealth management products.

Finally, it is the most expensive and troublesome to set up an overseas bank card in China, but you don't have to go abroad! You need to prepare an identity card, a passport with a valid endorsement for more than three months, or a Hong Kong and Macao pass. Chinese mainland Branch is actually an agency business. The bank is responsible for collecting information and then sending it to overseas banks, and then sending the bank card to customers after the overseas banks pass. Obviously, it will take a long time.

It is very important for investors to apply for overseas cards!

Step 2: Save money.

Most of the brokers recommended above can make online foreign exchange and remittance through domestic bank cards (CITIC, China Everbright, Minsheng and China Construction Bank only).

The third step: stock selection

Step 4: Deal.

This involves many things, such as options, ETFs, trading rules, order types and so on.
