For the English proficiency to U.S. stock investors, please refer to my previous article “Should a great English proficiency required to invest in US stocks?“.

Avoid using Chinese-language US stock information services

Even if your English reading ability is a little slow, it doesn’t matter, please try to avoid using Taiwanese Chinese US stock information services, no matter how famous or even a paid service. Because according to my personal experience, many of these websites and services are full of errors in even the fundamental financial report figures of listed companies, such as revenue and price-earnings ratio, and this phenomenon is not uncommon.
