Buying and selling stocks in VBKR is similar to that of ordinary banks or investment brokers. Just select the order type, confirm the number of shares you&#8217;d like to buy and the price; if you want to buy and sell Hong Kong stock odd lots, you can go through the &#8220;Fold Limit Order&#8221; section. This feature makes it easier to sell odd lot stocks with low liquidity, and also helps novice investors with little principal to buy high-quality stocks with a lower investment amount.



<h2>Sina Finance &amp; Community [Chinese only]</h2>



Many securities brokers have tried to provide financial news in their mobile apps, and VBKR, as a product of Sina Group, integrates financial content from Sina and Weibo. Open the &#8220;Community&#8221; section of the VBKR mobile app and you can read a large number of financial news reports, analysis columns and investment experts sharing their experiences on social platforms. The content is updated 24 hours a day, and you can also get instant news of US stocks in the middle of the night.



In addition, in the &#8220;VBKR Classroom&#8221;, users can watch teaching videos, broadcasts and articles about Hong Kong and US stocks, covering basic knowledge of stocks, introduction to CBBCs, market analysis, etc., they even have the famous financial KOL Shi Fu (Shi Hongyi) teaching as well! The lessons are short and easy to understand &#8211; both novices and veterans could learn something from them!



There is no shortage of cost-effective investment brokers in the market, but the informational content in VBKR stands out. Even if you invest with other securities firms, you may wish to use VBKR to keep up with the latest stock market news and data.

VBKR also has robo-advisory functionality &#8211; if you&#8217;re not sure how to invest, you can invest in a diversified portfolio composed of ETFs with one click. The system will prompt you to adjust positions when the market conditions change, making investment simple whilst helping you build a good habit. Whether the performance of the robo-advisory algorithm is better than humans is hard to say &#8211; but it can be a good way to enter the market while you&#8217;re doing your own research!



If you&#8217;re scared of investing in the market, or have different strategies you want to try, another way you can test these is with VBKR&#8217;s simulated stock trading functions.
