Buying stocks might seem easy, but picking the right one without a solid plan is tough. I've been trying to grow my $100K portfolio, but the tricky part is not having clear plans for when to buy and sell. Any tips on this would really help.
@JasonStathamOffical I agree. From my own experience with an investment advisor, I've got $1 million in a diverse portfolio that's growing fast. It's not just about having money for stocks; you need to know your stuff, stay determined, and be resilient.

Does their HYSA show up in their app? I have one with Apple. I like the all in one view but Im thinking of switching since Apple and Goldman Sachs maybe breaking up soon. I have an Amex CC so it will be nice to see everything in one place.
So I have Wells Fargo as my banking right now would I be able to transfer the Amex savings funds to my Wells Fargo checking pretty easily or nah? I’m thinking about opening my first HYAS account but I just want to make sure I’d be able to move money from acc to acc easily in case of a emergency
Yes, transfers are usually easy. Bank to bank transfers are how I personally swap money as well! I understand it can be a bit anxious the first time, so if this is the case for you, transfer little money. Start with 100 bucks and then once you feel more comfortable with the process, then transfer the rest. Start small :)
Wells Fargo and any bank that CHARGES the customer WHO'S MONEY THE ARE USING while its in their account, for the simple fact that they are "providing a service" are scum. Credit Unions all the way! I don't have to worry about not depositing money every month into the account and getting random charges because some money grabbing scum decided they want a piece...
I'm with Alex. Transfers are super easy once you link the two bank accounts. However, I'm Wells Fargo as well. My payments to my Amex cards happen almost the same day. The HYSA transfers take a couple of days.
FDIC says up to (per account per owner). AMEX says at least. Just depends how you look at it. Bottom line: you have $250K insurance per account per owner.
So I have $60k in SOFI who’s my primary account now since transferring over from Wells Fargo. I also have $25k with Amex. Now I’m thinking I should also move this emergency fund to SOFI too. I don’t have credit cards with them but they were my 1st HYSA. So undecided now. I also found Milli HYSA today at 5.50% but am unfamiliar with the company. Seems shady perhaps?
Not too sure about Milli, I'd have to look into it more! There goes the confidence factors I talk about in the video! For me, no warm and fuzzy, I consider other options.
But with sofi you need direct deposit on top of the 5k minimum balance you have to have in the account to earn interest. Is it the same with amex also?
Actually, I did notice that. Many banks are lowering their rates, and not sure why. The fed might be lowering interest rates in the future, so they might be being proactive. Other than that, not sure. There are still other options out there, though. What are your thoughts on it?
I personally consider only established, FDIC/NCUA insured organizations. AMEX, Capital One, Marcus, SoFi, Ally, CIT are all good examples. There are others of course. Just depends on what you're looking for.
@@alexisidro I got Amex Checking I don't have direct deposit. They emailed me to remind me to make a deposit each month or they close the account. It had 1 APY logo next to the reminder.
just moved 50k to a Amex hysa this month. took one day to process the transaction from my BofA. I have another 17k I'm thinking of moving to a CIT bank offering 5.05% but on the fence about the reliability of the bank. May just move it to Cap One 360

thanks dude! well thought out vid -super helpful!!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching. Any questions let me know
I enjoyed the vid and information. I opened the HYA with your help. Thank you.
Does their HYSA show up in their app? I have one with Apple. I like the all in one view but Im thinking of switching since Apple and Goldman Sachs maybe breaking up soon. I have an Amex CC so it will be nice to see everything in one place.
I believe so. I don't see why it wouldn't.
Yes they do
What are the other cards you mentioned at the end that have similar features but have higher APYs?
SOFI, Capital one
@@Yagirlnyesha thank you
When you say e check, is the just the same as mobile deposit using the app?
Yes!
@@alexisidro thanks for the quick response. I’ve only seen it listed as mobile deposit and not e-check before
This was really helpful! Thanks!
Very welcome. Is AMEX for you?
Is there an annual fee? I read no monthly fees but I have Amex business cards that have annual fees
The high yield savings account does not have any fees :)
I’m an engineer, so I subscribed 🤝🏾🤣
LFGOOO. What field are you in? Nice connecting with you!
Went to school for biomedical engineering, working in quality at a med device company!
That’s wonderful! How you liking your career so far?
I want the warm and fuzzy feelings you have towards Amex too! Lehman Brothers was founded in 1850 too and look at what happened to them.
I hear you!
What’s the cost of moving money FROM the high yield savings account TO an external bank?
Zero. Just a regular transfer
@@alexisidro nice. Thank you

I'm with Alex. Transfers are super easy once you link the two bank accounts. However, I'm Wells Fargo as well. My payments to my Amex cards happen almost the same day. The HYSA transfers take a couple of days.
It's not up to $250K insured. It's AT LEAST $250K. That's what they advertise.
FDIC says up to (per account per owner). AMEX says at least. Just depends how you look at it. Bottom line: you have $250K insurance per account per owner.
Would you recommend it to your mom. Should be the standard for alot of things 😂
haha AGREE! Do you have any questions I can help answer? How are you liking AMEX?
@@alexisidro I just opened one today and transferred money. But didn’t know you have to pay tax on interest earned in a savings acc. Disgusting.
It is crazy!!! I feel you.
An engineer can’t resist the urge to let people know they’re an engineer. Lol
So what do you recommend for the highest APY?
Laurel Road is a good one for high interest. I made a review on it here th-cam.com/video/aSwDApOZHsE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video!
Welcome! Are there any other questions I can help with?
“Up To” means anything from 0.1 “up To” the max advertised price! Please understand this friends!
So I have $60k in SOFI who’s my primary account now since transferring over from Wells Fargo. I also have $25k with Amex. Now I’m thinking I should also move this emergency fund to SOFI too.

@@lefty.don’t think so. I opened AMEX and put $100 in to test and see. I get the interest monthly on it with just a $100 in.
@@Meowskatools thank you for actually replying to me. Yeah I put money in and I’m waiting for the month to hit. Appreciate the help
Thanks for the video. Good stuff. Have you looked at the history of their rate? What are your thought on that?
Actually, I did notice that. Many banks are lowering their rates, and not sure why. The fed might be lowering interest rates in the future, so they might be being proactive. Other than that, not sure. There are still other options out there, though. What are your thoughts on it?
Can i get a card for this account?
If you get the checking account, yes.
No card for HYS savings
Thank you
Glad to help! What did you like best about AMEX?
What’s the best with no chance of foreclosure? Goldman Sachs is 4.40% ?
I personally consider only established, FDIC/NCUA insured organizations. AMEX, Capital One, Marcus, SoFi, Ally, CIT are all good examples. There are others of course. Just depends on what you're looking for.
If you get Amex Checking that's 1 APY on top of 4.35 Savings equal 5.35 APY good for regular customers
That’s great! Is that a current offer? I didn’t see it on their website.
@@alexisidro I got Amex Checking I don't have direct deposit. They emailed me to remind me to make a deposit each month or they close the account. It had 1 APY logo next to the reminder.
I think you have the math wrong. The checking account is 1%, the savings account is 4.35%. They don’t add together.
Thank you for the clarification!
Correct@@mikecumbo7531
just moved 50k to a Amex hysa this month. took one day to process the transaction from my BofA.
I have another 17k I'm thinking of moving to a CIT bank offering 5.05% but on the fence about the reliability of the bank. May just move it to Cap One 360
That’s great! Lmk how you like CIT.
@alexisidro could you do one on BMO Alto?
Those snakes just lowered it to 4.10.
Oof! Yes, sadly many banks are already lowering their APYs due to the federal reserve's latest updates. It was expected. What are your savings goals, any questions I can help you with?
