One of the major advantages of online investment is everyone can start investing even with a low amount. You can try investment with as low as $5 through micro investment platforms like Acorn, Stash or Crypto Exchanges. The major disadvantage is you still need a lot of money to benefit from online investment. Getting scammed is one of the major risk of online investment.

Whether online investment is good or not depends on the specific investment type. While investing through investment platforms can be profitable, you come across multiple schemes such as high yield investment platforms, pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes, MLM, etc, will rob you.

For me l don't really trust any online investment platforms. These things are very risky 6 making investments using them because they are never reliable and most of them are not regulated by the relevant regulating bodies.

One common advantage about investing online is that there is no limitations when it comes to location. You can be anywhere and easily make an Investment, on the other hand due to the fact that you might not be meeting does you are investing face to face, the risk factor is pretty high.

That's correct. Investing online is no location sensitive. Thewre are a lot of investment platforms available that allows you to invest from anywhere, for instance, you can invest in the American stock market even when you're in Africa or Asia.

For me l would not allow that thing to invest in those online investment platforms. I prefer investing in a solid and reliable investment opportunities even if it's online but from a recognised company.

One advantage of online investment is that it's cultivates a huge amount of profit way faster than actual businesses does. While the disadvantage is that there are a lot of process to achieving it

In some countries investing online is very risky because of a major fraud of tech and internet companies who are supporting high status respectable government employees in faking online, domain investment, online income while a private citizen is paying all the expenses, doing all the work.

do you have a stock broker I just want to know I was into share buying but I lack basic information when the stock rise of fall so I can sell it even the dividend I don't collect it because my stock broker stay far away from me so it's sometimes hard to reach him it's like he has slot of work in his table

People need to be vigilant when encountering schemes that promise unrealistically high returns or operate in a suspicious manner. High yield investment platforms, pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes, and MLMs are all examples of fraudulent schemes that can ultimately result in financial loss for investors.

You need to differentiate between a genuine investment platform and a fake investment platform. You find about this by analyzing what they are doing with your funds and how they are giving you returns.

Currently, most investment platforms are online, be it shares, bonds, gold and cryptocurrency, so when you buy shares it is not in physical form but digital, and we have to choose an investment platform that is official and registered with a government agency.

The advantage is that you will have steady financial freedom in the future but the disadvantage is that you can fall for scam and all your money gone so you need to be careful when investing
