The promotion is currently active, and using the link costs you nothing extra. On a separate note, if you haven\u2019t already, it\u2019s worth taking a look at how IBKR\u2019s share price has performed over the past five years \u2014 the stock you receive as a bonus isn\u2019t just a token; it\u2019s a stake in a company that has done quite well for its shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>I break down my resources according to these topics:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investmentmoats.com\/managing-kyith-personal-notes\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/investmentmoats.com\/managing-kyith-personal-notes\/\">All my personal notes<\/a> about how my philosophy behind my own money and how I manage it.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/investmentmoats.com\/wealth-foundation\/\">Building Your Wealth Foundation<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 If you know and apply these simple financial concepts, your long term wealth should be pretty well managed.
