Hello All,

My sister recently mentioned this site and I thought it was a great space for sharing education that some of us have amassed over the years.

Looking forward to sharing ideas, views and research.

Hi all,

This is my first time writing on this site or anyother for that matter. I am going to try to trade shares. I have fluffed around the edge for years. I have decided to have a go in a serious manner. Any advice for a newby! I live in QLD.

Hey all,

Only just starting my journey into trading.

Have dabbled only from an interest viewpoint in the past and, guess what, lost money.

It seems not only do I have alot to learn before I even start paper trading, but will need to get a copy of the "Modern Traders Dictionary' so I can understand all the commentary.

Also if anyone has any information on trading systems or direct me to the relevant threads it would be appreciated.

Hi I'm Eric. This is my very first post after lurking for a few weeks!

I've been reading up on companies these last few months, and have tried my hand at analysing the fundamentals of a few companies whose share price has gone up pretty well the last few years (BBG and WOW).

This analysis is on an Excel spreadsheet and I would be interested in having a more experienced long-term investor look over my calculations to see if I'm kinda on the right track.

The analysis is based on DCF analysis and another method I read about in a Warren Buffett book.

Any assistance or another pair of eyes would be appreciated?

Thats just like me, I have been lurking for months and made my first post today. This being my second one now.

I have shares for my kids, investment shares for my husband and I, and some other shares we have had for many years.

Im still a noob!

Hey Matty,

Im always sceptical about short courses or seminars, usually always have an agenda.

I would recommend continueing to lurk (and ask as many questions as you see fit) the forums. Look in the resources section and get the books you need. Fundamental and techncial analysis books being the basics. You can then decide to which markets/sectors you wish to apply these techniques and which techniques you wish to apply in the first place. But dont forget about intermarket analysis also, imperative in the modern world.

There is no quick path, just a lot of research.

Good luck, if you need any help (I am still learning a lot myself), dont hesitate to ask.

Cheers

Hi everyone

I am nooby as well...

I think its a good time to start trading as the stock market is not at its peak.

I have been reading the forums for a while

Hi everyone

This is actually my second post, but I'm also new. I've been interested in the sharemarket since I was in highschool (over 10 years now) and I've owned a stock here and there.

These last couple of year's I've been getting into it more, doing a lot more reading and having a bit of a go.

My capital is tiny, but growing and I expect that I will be accumulating long term holds as I save up the cash.

As for trading, I'm not looking at day trading but short term (say weeks or month's) does interest me and I hope to learn how to do so.

Looking forward to becoming a regular poster

Allo.

I've always avoided active share trading due to a lack of in depth knowledge, and rightly so. After doing some research today a good part of it has been learning all the terms and underlying meanings.

Got $ in managed funds and cash, now it's time to get active on the share market.

Seems to be a good forum here on initial inspection, a welcome change from the poor spelling and grammar of other sporting/recreation based forums I've been a part of.

Yes, I'll be searching before posting.

Ja.

Evening all,

Nice quiet weekend at home for once so thought I'd finally post in here.

Work for a large funds manager/financial instituation and during quiet times at work, hop onto sites like this for more info to build my wealth!

Besides investing in shares/managed funds, also collect Transformers!! Woot!
