Hi "gurus".

gray.nomad :)
I am looking for Australian companies that have "Fully Franked Shares".
My question is: What is the best/easiest way to get a list of such companies?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Regards to all.

Do you have a Commsec account?

Go to "Advanced Search tools"

You can search using various parameters including "% franking"

and any number of other fundamentals.

other online brokers have similar tools
 
Thanks awg,

I suppose that WestPac would have a similar system.
I just opened up a trading account with WPB, it will take several days until I can start. :)

Best regards

Hi all - new kid on the block here. I've been following some threads for about a week and thought I'd join to ask some noob questions I might have.

I would consider myself a casual investor at this stage, just slowly getting my feet wet - but am looking to learn as much as possible.

Hello. I am Frogacle.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't expect that post to work as I haven't yet clicked on the confirmation link. In fact, I was wondering if I could get that link resent to my email account but I couldn't find the request form to get that done.

While I'm editing this post, I may as well mention that I've been casually trading shares/options/CFDs for about 6 years. I haven't really participated much in online forums yet. I just recently decided to establish an online presence -- though I'm adamantly anti-Facebook.

Edit (2): OK. I found that I have inadvertently verified my email address which is why I was able to post. Unfortunately, I am unable to delete this post so I now look like some sort of Internet-noob. I'm going to go away now and hide in virtual shame.

hi im a uni student doing acst wanting to be a trader either at IB or prop shops. nice to meet so many like minded people
 
G'day ............My name is Bill and am a very recent migrant to Australia from Canada. I have just received permanent residency and have a small
($20,000) portfolio with E-trade.
Played the market and still have a portfolio in Canada and lost a bundle during the past year. Haven't learned too much and I must get more serious and diligent.
Hopefully can pick up a few good habits from the more successful members of this forum.
 
Forgot to introduce myself. I'm an engineer by profession and working towards my MBA right now. I'm fairly new to stock investing, made my share of expensive newbie mistakes and learnt to be patient, keep my cool and not be greedy. Registered here to follow this pair trading strategy thread because I'm much more comfortable with things backed by maths theories. Went to the uni library yesterday and borrowed a stack of books on the subject. It looks promising, hope I know what I'm doing.

This post belongs in some kind of hall of fame.
 
Greetings all,

new around here obviously, and new to the game. Yet to jump into the market - but it wont be long until I do. In the meantime I've been reading many of the posts here and thinking/observing.
Also getting to grips with ProTA (I'm a mac user) and finessing a trading plan at the moment.
Seems like a good, informative forum and I'll be dropping noob questions around before long.

So cheers and thanks,

Registered a while ago but only recently started taking more interest in trading. Trying to understand the forex world at the moment, playing around with MT4. So many helpful people on this board, thank you all! :)
 
Hi all. I am interested in trading but need a bit more info. So I am going to have a look around here and at other sites to see what I can see :)

I have played the stock market game at the ASX and found it to be a very interesting introduction into the world of share trading.

Look forward to meeting others and learning lots.

Wow there is a lot of information on this site! I am very new to all of this and need to start from the bottom. Where would you suggest i find REAL beginner info i.e definitions of terms, what certain things on charts mean ect.
I have been reading through some information and I'm now so confused :(

Looking forward to some assistance,

Thanks in advance.

You're in it. The Beginners Lounge.

:)

Just surf and don't be afraid to ask questions.

If you end up in the wrong place and some goose abuses you for not having a clue ignore them and head back to the Beginners Lounge.

Or, PM a Mod for direction!

:)
 
After a few weeks cruising the site, thought I should intro myself. Spose I got excited when the Chinese economy bounced back and started skewing my play portfolio away from blue chips, many medical towards some speccies. It's fun but will have to reign in the time I've been spending trying to grasp the various terminologies and nuances. Thanks to many of the old hands who obviously enjoy helping and sharing. And don't worry about the name - it's from hashing which I've been doing off and on for a few decades. Best wishes over the remainder of the year and on on!

P.S. I started a thread yesterday on KIS and omitted to advise the MC which is $11m. I've been holding for a few painful years and welcome thoughts on whether this puppy will ever become a greyhound or just a dog. The price of tungsten doesn't look to be an issue.
