eToro FTCV, is it a BUY? Is it better than Robinhood and IPOE Sofi? FTCV merger stock review - etoro review

Comments

Ishmael Badze: Do the warrants have an early redemption clause??

MillennialBug: I use eToro and have worked in FinTech for 12 years, and gotta say for your average retail Investor I think platform is freaking awesome, for more reasons than I can list. It's definitely not Cryto orientated as it only has a small selection (although it is increasing). It still has a lot of scope for expansion IMO. They've nailed the social trading aspect, and the model encourages it's users to onboard more people for organic growth (think Metcalfe's law). Copy traders can move up the ranks and become certified popular investors and get paid well to do it!! I believe they even pay for your professional exams as you get "Promoted" as you can end up having significant amounts of assets under management. This is a buy for me.

Golf Star: The truth... The company owns shares at $10. So buy at $10 if you can, then sell in June when they complete the merger and go up. All stocks do this initially. Company details or value hardly matter. It's about making money.

Johann Dornemann Carrión: The question is would I buy etoro spac? Why not a normal IPO. I'm really confused. I've got some shares for 11usd though

GlitchGrid: when will it merge

Aaron Stones: A quick question. How do you calculate they were worth $12 billion? Do we not need to know the outstanding shares that will be in circulation when the deal closes to know its current implied market cap based on share price?

DONALD1951: Another great Spac is a Golden Sachs Spac...GSAH.

Kendall Turnage: One of the reasons this company had a great late 2020 and early 2021 is that they were one of the only exchanges that offered the cryptocurrency Cardano ADA. Now that Cardano is on Coinbase, most people will buy there.

some one: etoro is good at marketing but very very bad on customer service, lots of users face issues . some also fishy business. some customer claiming withdrawal issues or even cant withdraw at all , vanishing money etc etc . also many of the new investors will understand the benefits of real brokers over discounted broker and will make the transition. real brokers(schawb,ibkr,fidilty) had came along way and their fees are tiny for the level of service they provide . the only discount broker i like is webull

Cryptsy kid: eToro is fucking people about with FTCV they won't let you place an order, you can only buy at the market price so theirs no buy walls or sell walls been added.

Cryptsy kid: Nah they'll use half that to buy back more BTC holding in USD when they've started printing trillions is stupid.

Cryptsy kid: As for each user generating less revenue that's because eToro is free trading eventually they should add a small fee

Cryptsy kid: eToro has massive growth coming so many Bitcoin millionaires will be made this year and they'll buy stock on an exchange like eToro that also respects Bitcoin

Cryptsy kid: Omg dude eToro has been around much longer than Robinhood they've been keeping people's Bitcoin safe since 2014 it's even better than crap like Bitmex / Bybit because you can use 40x leverage for Bitcoin on eToro,, I mean does Robinhood even payout dividends on normal stock like eToro? It's not even a comparison

Cryptsy kid: Robinhood is trash compared to eToro

Chris: It's a decent platform. For the social aspect to work I feel it needs more users.

zerrik08: Im from Europe biggest disadvantage is the small stock list. You can't buy even bigger companies on nasdaq and nyse. Other thing is the servers were down last month and people couldn't buy or sell for days and many of the users are withdrawing and leaving etoro. I don't buy stocks on margin so I can't tell about the pricing. The stock trading is free and thats very good in the EU since only trading 212 is the competition for smaller investors. If they manage to add more stocks to their list (way more) then I'd say this has a future but for now I suggest to wait since I find the valuation too high. Edit: I like trading212 better because larger stock list and better web design.

Fabrizio Bertora: Your reviews are so good that I do no longer feel comfortable when buying a SPAC if I do not hear your opinion before. Please review at least one of these PDAC, RAAC, HZON, RFX, NHIC or RTPZ.

F A: Thx, Patrick,,,, will stick with SOFI, it has the potential to be a real core position.

Zne Skarm: Add the Robinhood controversy after they decided to freeze trades for GameStop, perhaps something that speaks for eToro

svrs: What happens to your FTCV shares after the merger? Will it just be a ticker change? Or will you own less shares because of dilution?

richie bettles: Etoro best in europe.. 20 million user's.. This is going to be big...

Jason C: Thanks for the video and your insights. Chart traded back into the gap yesterday, so I’d expect the gap to fill now. All imo

Andrew Dempsey: You can trade stocks? Not sure why you think you can’t

thebasolla: Hi Patrick, I'm really wondering if SPAC hype will come back sooner or later

M W: Very limited in functionality for pro user, and bad customer service and hard to move money in and out.. copy trade is it's highlight and trademark feature, user review not so great.. it's only suited for newbie investor.

NE INVESTING: Hi I use eToro a lot and I really enjoy the experience certainly one of the best platforms in the uk.. crypto and stocks and the social network is pretty cool. The copy traders have been there for along time it shows back history gains and losses. Personally I think this could be huge.. Could see this carrying a 50- 60 billion dollar market cap in the medium to long term. 1-2 years.

king marcG: So fi wins.

Hassan Malo Haj: Does that mean the "blocked countries" rule will be canceled and everyone can sign up??????

Thomas Miller: I use eToro along with another trading platform IG. eToro has a great interface/ user experience, can't complain at all and have recommended to friends. The moment I received an email from eToro advising of them going public via SPAC I bought shares (through eToro's platform) right away for the long term hold.

chevyav53: What do you think of the SPAC > EQD

Craig Chambers: The hype "to the moon" is too old now. It should be "to Mars, and beyond!" :-)

Craig Chambers: Still new at this, but I've been in CCIV for over a month. Just leaving it in there, am in the green, though not for the last dip.

Mark O: Have you looked into NHIC ? I saw that Bill Gates is invested in it. Check out the stock AI it seems like a great dip buy!

I M: E-Toro is a dodgy company linked to the Israeli government. There's rumours of data malpractice already!

Safa Moayyed: taking a break from spacs. Thank you

Adi Adindas: You could Trade Common Stock with eToro, you could also do Leverage using CFD. But the main problem here is that the number of stocks to be traded compaed to its main competitors Trading212 is quite limited. Also, there are not many SPAC stocks available (If any).

Billy Sheridan: If they improve on their range of stocks / tickers and narrow the spread , and enable more cryptos to be moved to EToro wallet then nothing can stop them getting even bigger. Stocks ,CFDs , crypto, FX , commodities all available,

Billy Sheridan: It’s very popular here in Europe, and it’s growing fast. It has its pros and cons , I use EToro and Trading 212 . We can’t use webull or Robinhood here !

kevin: i think the hedge funds are strangling spacs now

Nate Petersen: Nice video! I might wait on this one for now especially with how much I am into SOFI but definitely keep it on my watchlist! Curious your thoughts once the bubble pops, what strategy are using to keep your portfolio safe?

J Steen: 👍👍👍

Hugo Osuna: Thank You again Patrick D another very precious video

Prad Prad: Good review man. I like it.

DJ GG: I downloaded and used the app for a while and still don't get it. Their main thing is basically you give people on the internet full control for managing your money. So sexybeast69 on EToro builds a portfolio and gains followers, and you choose to follow them and it copies their trades. Why would you ever give someone full taxable event control of your portfolio? I get we have no control over our retirement accounts but at least those are huge funds with credited investors. I cannot believe this company is this big.

Wayne: I have both eToro and SoFi. The SoFi platform blows it out the water. The eToro app reminds me of something from the 90s... Trading is just a small part of sofi, it is more akin to a traditional bank albeit online only. EToro is basically a less glamorous Robinhood, with less selection of tickets though.

Frank P: I think that stopped charging fees for crypto trading in 2019, which is the reason for drop in revenues. Thus only recognizing revenues for stock trading. I have a Etoro account in US and can only buy crypto approx 15 types on their site. Not ideal for using platform in US.

Matthew Thompson: Picked some up after hours, think it's an ok deal at this price. Spac market is down, but I like how the company looks and I think it has good hype potential with it being crypto focused. I don't have a play like SOFI and have wanted a solid company to buy into for this sector under $14. Might see it rise if crypto keeps going higher, but will average down if it goes into the 11's. I think we will see some enthusiasm come back into Spac land and think there is a pretty good chance this down cycle will be gone in a month or two. But who knows , we shall see.

Shakey Pudding: I’m a buyer under $12.50 tomorrow. I like the growth profile for a long term hold.

Jack Han: Cohen got power. Another Citadel scam
