The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

its the same as Buying stocks. you just choose the currency you want to buy ,its on a separate screen in the fidelity app, maybe thats why you have trouble seeing it ?

moneycorp is easier to use. you can open an account online yourself. Its a BofA operation. you can set limits on currency price purchases and exchanges.

I looked into Schwab global. the local office and their central phone line both told me I must bea US domestic customer for 6-12 months before they would allow a conversion. Curious if they have said that to you too.

IBKR is the only truly global operation but the klugey interface and the lack of telephone support makes me nervous....
