In late 2017 I wanted to buy shares/stocks of U.S. technology companies and was Google® searching the internet. It was very tough and from that Thursday morning I was searching like never before in my whole life. When it was the early hours of Friday morning (night) Google® changed and shifted the search towards JStock™ and DriveWealth® LLC.
JStock® is an open source app developed in Malaysia and DriveWealth® LLC is a privately held company offering stock broker services, wealth management, and other financial services and the company is registered in the U.S.
That Friday morning, I deposited 10 US $ using my Visa® debit card to my investment account and emailed DriveWealth® a color photo of my Maldivian passport, further more DriveWealth® charged about 5 US $ to open my investment account as a handling fee to submit to the Internal Revenue Service the W8-BEN form. This form is a required beneficiary form for foreign investors.
I was depositing small amounts using my Visa® debit card to buy my very first ever share on my own. After a few days I bought my very first share and it was of Intel® Corporation which is listed and traded in Nasdaq® with the ticker symbol INTC®. Nasdaq® is the world's second largest stock exchange and is in Wall Street, New York city. In Nasdaq® the majority of the listed companies are technology companies. Intel® is my favorite technology company. I bought shares of a few other companies and sold the shares and till late 2018 I never held any shares. I emailed to DriveWealth® to electronically wire the funds to my BML bank account and it was my only and first ever electronic wire transfer to my bank account.
In late 2018 I again bought a share of Intel® and I intend to keep this share. On Ramallan 2019 I attended the Intel® stock and share holder meeting which was a virtual event. That was the very first time I attended such a meeting and I voted in favor of the recommendations made by Intel®.
I own 1 share of Dhiraagu which is my favorite and most admired company in Maldives. The services provided is excellent. I bought that share in early 2018. I receive dividends both by Intel® and Dhiraagu too.
