In this article, I will share my idea for growing back my stock portfolio by starting small. Long story short, after several years with a costly Dutch Lynx Broker (affiliated with Interactive Brokers), where I was paying high commissions for stock buys (sells) and options trades I finally closed it in mid-September 2022, closing all the positions and withdrawing funds. Because of some regulation, I was not allowed to open an Interactive Brokers account (much cheaper commissions) for a 6 month…
