Imagine this: you’ve read about a little-known company, which is set to be the next big thing.

But you’re unsure what your next move should be? Do you trust that information, and go “all-in”?

Absolutely not!

The next steps you take should always be the same: research, research, research.

And that’s why the app, or broker you use, must have access to real-time comprehensive research, news and insightful analysis. It is in those finer details that can make the difference in an investment opportunity.

WHO’S THE BEST?

So, who offers the best – whether free or paid – to the research platforms?

If you’re wanting to get your research and news from the likes of AccessWire, MTNewswires, UBS, Briefing.com, QuantConnect or Quantum Research Group (just to name a few), there’s only a few places to go. One being Interactive Brokers, another being Charles Schwab.

What makes these two stand out is the breadth and range of economic news and platforms available to prospective investors, but nudging ahead is Interactive Brokers, by several reasons: the fees payable and the ability to use this information whilst in demo/paper mode.

This means you can test out everything you have read, without actually making – or more importantly losing – money.

And if you do wish to use a paid feature for Research, a small fee is retained to cover administrative and other costs in relation to the provision of these data services. The rest goes to the vendor.

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to grip Australia, new research reveals a shifting landscape in the realm of dating preferences.

According to the survey conducted by eharmony, an overwhelming two-thirds of Australians are now keen to understand their potential partner’s financial situation before committing to a serious relationship.

The findings indicate a growing trend where individuals are becoming more discerning about whom they invest their affections in, particularly as the economic pressures intensify.

Good debt

While certain forms of debt, such as mortgages and student loans (e.g., HECS), are deemed acceptable or even ‘good’ debt by a majority of respondents, credit card debt, payday loans (such as Afterpay), and personal loans top the list of ‘bad’ debt, with 82%, 78%, and 73% of respondents, respectively, expressing concerns.

Interestingly, even car loans are viewed unfavorably by a significant portion of those surveyed, with 57.5% considering them to be undesirable debt.

Sharon Draper, a relationship expert at eharmony, said the significance of financial compatibility in relationships, noting that discussions around money are increasingly taking place at earlier stages of dating.

“In the past, couples tended to avoid discussing money during the early stages of dating because it was regarded as rude and potentially off-putting,” Draper explains.

“However, understanding each other’s perspectives and habits around finances early on can be instrumental in assessing long-term compatibility.”
