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.

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 )
 
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.

Gold Price - Where is it heading?

We have seen the false start and the consolidation. Now that more and more people are starting to realise inflation is about to go nuts and that is good for Gold.

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.

welcome to ASF

at first glance i thought you had used your full name ( a classic forum error ) ( you got me good on that one )

this year should be very educational ( but maybe not so logical )

there is plenty to learn here from masters past and still present

PS analyse your good outcomes as well as the bad ones , hindsight helps build knowledge as well

good luck ( i think we will all need some this year )
