I have a nice predicament... I managed to cash out my GME for a bit of a profit a few weeks ago, and after using most to max out my 2021 NISA, I will still have a couple thousand USD in my Rakuten account. So I was looking at what I should do with it and came across MMFs. I've searched the forum but...

Right on, thanks for the links!

I requested both IGV and ARKK on both Rakuten and SBI. Maybe if you request them too, it'll look like there's lots of interest
I'll update the post once they get added (if they do).

I am with both Rakuten Securities and SBI, and neither broker lists a sweet little ETF that I've had on my watchlist and am now ready to buy, ticker IGV.

With bank accounts (online and brick & mortar) having horrendous interest rates, I'm trying to find another lowish-risk solution for monthly, long-term savings. I bought BND back in March, and it has so far gained a modest 1.31%, much better than the .001% offered by the banks. (I'm not from the...

Right! Thank you for that :) Also, I realized that it wasn't necessarily referring to my NISA limit, but the amount of cash I had available in my account at that time. I am usually floating an extra bit of cash in this securities account, but this purchase would have brought me close to zero, and wi...

Hi all,

I got this message when trying to pick up 1476 this morning:

NISA口座の買付可能額を超過しています。株式で成行の場合は値幅の上限の買付余力が必要です

I'm trading with Rakuten. I was able to place an order just previous to this and it went through fine. Anyone come across this before?
