How to Invest in US Stock Market?

So I am looking at diversifying a bit. We are probably talking about 40k$-50k$ and I am primarily looking at a mixed risk bag of US stock. Semiconductor market: Nvda, Avgo, Smci, Amd What strategy would ya’al suggest? What other stock should I be looking at? Wanting to keep the maximum number of unique stock to be 5 and of course, preferring to not loose the principal lol. Medium term goals (~2y for a hopeful 2x+). Thoughts? 💭

Need help: I stay in india, but i am considering to invest in US stock market. If you've invested or are a regular investor in US equities, Please share any pros and cons that you feel that would help other investors. Looking for inputs on topics such as, 1. Should one go for ETFs like MON100, etc or use apps like indmoney, vested etc, how's your experience here. 2. How do you manage or save taxes here? 3. Any currency conversion charges we have to face? 4. Other type of personal experience.

I want to invest in US stocks like msft, apple and alphabet from India. Are there any other options apart from vested or ind money ? Last year I saw news about nse ifsc through which we can investly directly in US stocks without the need of having an brokerage account there. Did any body invest through this route ? Any one did math and found out a route to invest using low forex charges please help here.

I’ll go first. 1. What kind of investor are you? I am an opportunity investor, and I do buy good stocks whenever they are in reasonable valuations. Below are my monthly numbers. 2. Where’s the majority of your investment portfolio ? I have three RE investments and one of them has loan. And I’m planning to buy a property in Goa or HP. 3. What’s your monthly investment breakdown? 1.7L/ Month (approx) 60k - SIP (mutual funds) 60k - stocks (smallcase, us stocks using vested) 30k - as opportunity fund, this is transferred to a different bank account 10-20k - for experimental investments in crypto, nfts, and some trading. This is a new segment and I don’t have much experience in this and that’s why starting small here. 4. Anything else you want to share? I am learning to invest on a daily basis. Reading, videos and podcasts are my sources. Some of my tops picks are Whiteboard finance (Marko), My first Million and Smart Passive Income, finance with Saran, and Akshat Shrivastava.

I heard that there would be a flat 25% tax on the dividend when investing in the US market, is there anyway we can get the tax returns. Can someone give some knowledge regarding these taxation rules.

Pls suggest some good apps to invest in US stocks... 🙌🏻 The apps which don't have any hidden fee and are transparent on charges n all... PS: I used EpiFi and it sucks.... deducted my 300 rs for no reason....no customer support

Every month my salary gets credited I barely spend 20% of it the rest of it is just sitting around in my bank account it's already above 5L. I keep thinking of investing it in stocks/mf but it's a lot of work 😔 What do you guys do with your salary, it would be great if you can share your investment strategy and how do you keep yourself motivated to stick to it
