Hoping to build up some new "Trading Friendships".....

Good Luck to All,

Hi all.

I have been in the sharemarket ever since i got my trading license a year and a bit ago when i turned 18. Working a part time job whilst at uni, pretty much every cent is going into the market these days.

Initial aim wasn't to make money, didn't mind losing it either, but to learn and get a feel of how the sharemarket works. It's amazing how much/quickly you can learn when your money is dumped into the unknown.

Most of my investments were speculative and a gamble, but beginners luck managed to net me enough to buy my first car.... I decided to take my earnings whilst ahead, recoup and get more knowledge before making my next move.

That was when i was direct to this place from another forum. I don't really know anyone who is into trading, so it's great to get all these opinions, ideas and knowledge from people here.
 
I'm itching to get money into the market, haven't been paper trading the way I'd like to have been (as in doing a full trading plan), but have been focusing on entries and exploration to begin with. I plan to get a little more serious as I won't be putting money into the market until the next financial year - I am getting to the point though where I just have to stop reading books recommended on this site (I own: Guppys Share Trading, Trend Trading, Bedfords Charting Secrets and Kinsky's Teach yourself about Shares) and start applying a lot of the theory that's swimming (literally) in my head.

tech/a I have to say, I like answering the many questions you ask of people in your enormous amounts of posts on here and on other forums, you're a fantastic reality check sometimes!
 
Hey guys and gals,

My names Craig and I live in Sydney. Im new to this
Things have changes sustaintially on the net since I started looking into shares after I attended a Peter Span course many years ago (wonder what he is doing now???). I never really got into it as I was having multiple kids and just trying to keep my head above water with new family and mortgage (you know the drill) and it all looked too complex and I made the assumption that I would be just gambling as I didnt really have the time or $$$ to focus on the market.
Anyway 5 years on and things have changed a bit in my life, dont have alot of breathing space $$$ wise but I do have a lot more time to be able to learn.
I am also interested in race cars and would like to ditch my job to be able to build develop and race replica and vintage racing cars down the track (that is my real passion).

Anyway...after a couple of business failures ( I now have a "stable" job ) and now being 37 and had my head kicked in Im a little wiser these days so I guess Im ready mentally to take on the challenge the market represents.

My goals are this, quite "simple" but i know intrinsically hard to do from a standpoint of zero education at this stage.

* I want to make $100 a day net profit.
* I want my return on that day so I can walk away from my computer and get on with life after that $100 is achieved.
* I want to do that with as little financial outlay as possible


If this is an impossible task, thats fine tell me and Im gone, but if its feasable and all it takes is hard work and discipline thats good. I know if it was easy everyone would do it, so I here to learn.
Im open to suggestions as to what books I need to read, what stock software I need to use, what online trader I should use, what sort of stocks offer me this daily short term gain etc etc. Any URL links for this would be much appreciated.

Im not after wealth and riches but to be able to take command of my life and not have the bosses gun pointed at my head on a daily basis and enjoy the family and race some special cars.... thats it.....

Kind regards,

Craig
 
Hi all,

I'm a 25 yrs old from Melb. I have been reading a lot of books but yet to make my first trade. Came across this forum last week and I've found it to be very informative. Looking forward to learning from some of the experts here

Cheers,

hello,
started trading about one month ago. Still work full time (shift worker)
have my mornings of one week and arvos the next.

One comment about posts on this site is that not enough info posted when a person " highlights" a stock for movement.
 
hi all!

i'm pretty much a newbie. have been reading the forums and posting a few questions out there. been playing the stock market for a few years but only buying a bit more over the last two. one thing i noticed about the forums is that there's quite a few short hand? like IMHO and DYOR etc...not quite sure what the first one means....is it possible to compile a glossary for these for newbies???

also...i've been hearing a lot about options etc. how exactly do they work. i'm a bit scared when i get given options and kinda sell them quick before they expire.

happy trading/investing peeps
 

Just post your Abbreviations and Glossary questions in the thread below... Have a nice day

Hi everyone,
Enjoy jumping onto the Forum when I have time! Started into shares last May(fortunately just after the May correction). I spent 3 months prior to this reading every book on shares/stockmarket that I could get my hands on.
Have been very lucky so far.

I read today on one of the links "don't mistake a bullmarket for your own genius" and have stored this thought away so I don't get overconfident.
Find the Forum a great source of advice.

Go the Cowboys!
Cheers from the North
 
Hi everyone

just realized that there was a thread to introduce yourself :

i have just started investing on the sharemarket, am looking to make a couple of $k here and there to enjoy
 
Hi my name is Richard

I've been on ASF for a little while now, but still an absolute beginner in terms of trading. I have learnt an absolute heap since I've been here though so thanks to all the regulars.
 

Hi Chorlton ...have you got a brother on Britishexpats.com? (http://britishexpats.com/forum/member.php?u=5353)

I too have moved from the UK to Melbourne (6months ago), and have recently stumbled onto this site. There are some really helpful people on here.

I'm sure you're probably aware, but the ASX is heavily geared towards mining stocks, which is pretty good if you wanna jump on the bandwagon!!

I'm into a 2-3 year buy and hold timeframe. Happy to take the ups with the downs on this bumpy ride

Howdy all,

I've been a member of this site for a little while, but have just been kicking tyres up until now.

I've been investing in shares on and off for a long while but recently decided to give it more serious attention - Mainly due to the fact that the housing market is way out of reach and I need to do something constructive with my money, rather than admit defeat and start wasting it on every trendy consumer good coming out of China.

Still learning the ropes, and have found this site really helpful - So thanks to all the regular posters.
 
Hi all

I'm Aaron im turning 20 this year im an undergraduate industrial chemistry student and im thinking of also studying banking and finance as this new area of the markets has become of great interest to me.

I'm very new when it comes to this area and ive been sitting back reading info that you guys have been posting on all the different companies for the past week or so.

So i hope to learn alot more Im planning on getting some good books out from the library and giving them a floggin.

In my spare time i like to read about science and chemistry, the paper, engineering articles, i like star trek !! haha.

on the social side, i love goin out clubin been to all the clubs in the great land of bris vegas many many times, every fri and sat night, spend a hell of a lot of money on drinks, and lucky ladies i meet out there haha. I love being this age and i never wanna get older.

Anyway thanks to all of you already for all your insightful posts.

Aaron.
