G'day lads, my names Gary but my mates call me Gary. You can call me Gary.
Happy to be here.
Haven't got any stocks currently, besides what's tied up in my super.
Have come into a bit of cash lately though and keen to invest it. All clean money, I swear.
Looking at the state of the world, I am leaning towards just buying a bunch of gold and burying it under my back verandah and leaving it there until I need it...
Might wait until the dust settles on the US election cycle before I hit the stocks. Would hate to buy in the day before they shoot a political candidate or something wild like that and watch my equity evaporate!
But I have no real clue what I'm doing so I'm keen to learn the ropes and see where the smart money is!
Cheers dudes.

DON't tell us that ( unless you want someone to dig up under your verandah .. .. old joke )
welcome ,
and so much to learn and maybe so little time before the next 'black swan '
something crazy like that is always a chance , so maybe don't dump it in all at once , ( even if putting it all in the same few stocks )
the market usually bounces around a bit , so if you miss one target wait a bit and see if something else arrives
you remember what suits YOU is the best strategy ( losing sleep over a choice you didn't really like , takes it's toll )

Don' worry Gary, you are in good company here.
Most of us don't have a clue, but very few of us realize it.

)To be brutally honest Gary , nobody on a public sharemarket forum really knows what they are doing .
You won't find a George Soros in this place .
It's basically a plus and minus game . If you can keep the ledger in the positive then the tax bills will keep on a' comin.
When you stop hearing from our little buddies down at the ATO , well , you'll know it's time to give the game away and get a proper job .

Gary I would agree with dyna on this point, no one here is a professional trader, BUT, there are people that are much further along their learning path than you, so they may be able to help you find your way. Your first task should be to discover what type of trading or investing that suits your personality and goals and this forum should be able to help you with that. Hope this post helps to fire your own thoughts.

I trust you enjoy and profit from ASF. Welcome.
re. Gold. this thread has been going since 2004 and gets posts nearly every day, if not every day.
Just go to the last page for the most recent post.
I've never known anyone called "Gary" let alone "Gary H" so you've made my day and I will call you Gary.
