What is Micro Investment?

For a lot of people investing in the stock market is not accessible because you need to buy a minimum number of stocks and for that purpose, you might need a lot of money. Therefore, micro investment is the only option for them. Interestingly, for some people who want to invest in American companies even when they are not in the United States or are not United States citizens, micro-investment platforms are the only options. However, the most important question that needs to be answered is can you actually build a fortune with micro-investment? The definition of fortune can be different for different people, however, by fortune if you mean a lot of money, you can actually reach there if you invest regularly, for example, invest $100 every month and increase your monthly investment by 10-20 percent every year, and also reinvest whatever profit you make. In 20 years, you might be rich.
