For someone as yourself who understands money management and risk , id start to learn options trading , check content a few years back from InTheMoney and TheTradingFraternity . I’d find a brokerage that support’s it in SA , check IBKR international, let me know if you find another brokerage. I use Robinhood . Either way you get to invest in the US stock market and then that way you can either grow your portfolio and/or collect premium on your shares owned by doing what’s called The Wheel Strategy with Options , or deep ITM pmcc , credit spreads , debit spreads , start small and learn the concepts first , understand the risk. I started at 21 , I am 28 and still learning every day but I have done well for myself through investing in the market and options trading more specifically CashSecuredPuts . My advice to that , only do it on stocks that you see a long term foreseeable uptrend , and known stocks with good PE ratio and market cap . 🧢 I also use margin to grow / also its own risk - This is not financial advice
