Hi Chorlton
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

AGS 13%, BMN 10%, LHG 19%, PDN 16%, SRZ 13%, THR 6%, TOE 6%, ZFX 16%
Thought I better make a post as I'm a pretty active forum troll.
My Name is Andrew, 26 from Brisbane, work in IT..
I became interested in the stock market after I saw a trader in action and had a good chat to him, around October 2006..
The idea of earning more money was appealing but I became more facisnated with actual movement of the market and the technical analysis of it. [read: nerd]
Around December '06 I started researching and purchased a small study guide of the market.. Took a bit of break for the fist quater of '07, but I'm now back in full swing of educating myself.
Currently paper trading and testing out trading plans etc.. Over the next year I hope to really flesh out a decent trading plan and start testing it with my own *real* money. Long term I hope to be able to start earning a decent amount to supplement my salary and who knows, maybe retire early!

Hi all,
Im Paul, 28, Perth. My brother put me onto this website. The combination of sideburns and Flying High is a good one
Anyhoo, I have a BSc in Human Movement and Exercise Science, and a PGD in OHS. I work in the regulatory environment, and as such, have an inherent interest in all things health and bio tech.
I already have a half decent knowledge in this area, but I'll continue to 'bone' up hahaha
Take it easy!!!

hi all,
20y.o finance and marketing student from adelaide (UniSA). Started paper trading last yr on the asx share game and actually managed to come top ten in the state so decided to invest half my savings into shares to see how i would go for real.
I made a lot of mistakes at first but after 9 months trading i am currently in positive territory(although not by much), so im looking to improve upon this.
I currently hold dyl, pdn, anz and bol. i have previously traded in zfx, oxr, srx, sbm and kzl.
hope i can contribue my limited knowledge and pick a few things up along the way

24 yo from sydney i actually made my first trade about 12 months ago so i consider this my first birthday.
Its funny when i look back to the beginning, i jumped in heads first made some good gains and some good losses, read my way around some different types of analysis and went with gut feel on emerging industries and sectors that i thought would grow. Missed out on QGC because i was in other gas stocks which i still hold and have good faith in (MAE)
I dont know whether its luck/ skill probable 50/50 but im up 24%after tax consideration on my 1st bday.
Hopefully i can double that return this year:

:Hullo to all thanks for the info I have read so far I find it very helpful to see that there are others out there just like me taking little steps into this new venture( for me anyway) so there will be lots of questions that I may post, if I can't find the answers somewhere.
I am leaving my run later in life and have a little spare cash at the moment to attempt to build on. Roann

Chris, the ASX runs seminars/presentations now and then, and has on line education. I recommend starting there for info. Cheers.

Hey everyone.
Im 27 studying an MBA and im pretty much as new as they get when it comes to trading. Ive got a few shares my old boy bought me a while ago but other than that ive got no idea really.
ive been reading these forums for a week now. I've bought a book on trading and plan to read a heap of stuff before diving in and having a crack with real money.

Hi all,
I am 25 from Perth. Been trading for a couple of years, largely on my little brother's tips!
Thought I better take a more active interest in shares. Won't have much to offer but will be reading a lot of the threads with interest!!!
Have very small holdings in eqn and wmt at the moment.
Cheers,
GUGT.

Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading this site and have recently registered. I have been following the markets for about 4 years. I am not a chartist but enjoy reading someones enthusiastic interpretations of the data.
