Welcome Bill, but I don't know how much help you'll get with that avatar lol :





P.S - Only joking
 
Thanks nomore4s.
Maybe when I ask a question I should ask for the person answering to qualify who there team is. This might save me getting directed to ABC learning, Allco or MSF shares.

Cheers Bill
 
Hi my name is Lui,

Very new to trading, in fact so new I havent placed a trade

I have been studying TA for the past 8 months and back testing systems as well as some paper trading.

Ive been looking in on this forum form time to time and thought Id make it official by joining up.

Its great to see all the differing opinions here and ways of trading as well as some of the "brutaly honest" responses

Looking forward to some great discussions.
 
I don't believe I've posted here yet despite being posting on this forum for some time now.

Name: Santo
Age: 30
Occupation: Civil Engineer
Location: Sydney (Just returned from living in Macau and Hong Kong)

Have held various shares over the past 15yrs or so, usually on advise from parents, but with no real trading plan as such. Have finally decided its about time to make them realise their potential rather than treating them like a bank account. Have been doing a fair bit of studying on technical analysis and Trading systems lately.

My goal (and I'll start in the new tax year owing to complications from being overseas) is to consolidate from the many shares that I have now, to a few that I can manage more effectively, and to apply the typical techniques from there on. ie ditch the losers and keep the winners.

This is a great website!
 
Heya all

Been in the the sharemarket for about 10 years with small holding that have now grown and looking to increase portfolio. Just came across this site, looks great.

Hello everyone my name is Osc and I joined this forum to see what others are doing in oz.

Currently I invest mostly in the banking sector stock market. I am an investor at the moment but I hope to become a trader one day because it offers more excitement and also to 'beat the market'. I got burned trading eight years ago and I found out that investing in the market was more effective. I am always researching trading methods of the mechanical kind especially on futures in the hope that one day I do find one that offers low drawdown and consistant money flow. So far I have found none that offer this unless they are heavily diversified into intruments of low correlation (need lots of money).

Havn't traded yet but will be looking for an entry point when the market levels out.

Books I quite like - The Agressive Investor & The Psychology Of Investing both by Colin Nicholson.

Hey all

Just a quick introduction. I've been doing lots of reading over the last few years and am now on the next stage of my (hopefully) trading career. I'll be doing some paper trading and developing my trading plan over the next six months or so whilst building my initial capital.

All going well I'll be trading by the end of the year. Fingers crossed.

Look forward to contributing wherever I can along the way.

Hi, every one

I happened to find this forum when searching online. I am completely new to stocks but have been learning from the posts in the forum.

What is motivated me to have a try in the stock market is managing to be pro-active in earning rather than let the potential mortgage eat away my saving (hopefully..)

Oh, I am in Mel. Nice to meet you all~
 
Howdy everyone,

I am Jason, living on the Gold Coast.

Dream, up in house on water, take luxury boat out on water, turn on laptop, CNBC, get some stock information, trade for a few hours, and then fish / cruise the waterways.

Back to reality, Project Manager, working heaps of hours for capital/investing/living.

Have been doing some trades via Margin lending. Taken a fall, but back on horse. Lesson learn't, don't get greedy, and stick to plan (buy/sell points).
Looking to move to CFD's

Wish everyone riches in their investing

Hi All,

New here. Came across this site yesterday which looked very informative.

Have not done much with shares etc and only some have T2 Telstra shares when they were floated. Did not do well on that one and only share I ever bought.

So hoping to learn a few things about shares.....

hi. my names peter, and im an alcoholic. ive been drinking now 25 yea........doh! wrong forum.

ive always been interested in the markets. i had some spare cash and a mate whom knows this stuff suggested i invest in CNP.

i bought in originally @60c. traded in and out as the price fluctuated and actually made a small profit. then i bought some silver(ish) shares mmn, mgo, mar, and aim (which isnt silver). CNP went down to 31c, so i sold all my others and bought back into cnp.

i like silver mines. i'll buy back in later. but probably not the above silver shares except mmn.
