Hi everyone.

Came across some money (redundancy sometimes works in your favour) and decided that now is the time to invest in this game. Been a fun couple of weeks of actual trades...but wow, have I got a lot to learn!!!!

The info on this site has really helped me understand a lot of things though...really appreciate everyone's inputs and opinions.

Look forward to filling you in during my journey

I just signed up today as a member of Aussie Stock Forums and wanted to introduce myself. Not sure if introductions are compulsory here but thought it might be the polite thing to do anyway.

I carried out quite a bit of trading starting a little more than 5 years ago now but my trading came to a screeching halt about 3 years ago when I decided to delve into the property market and buy two houses, a decision that ate up all my trading capital. I then relocated to the UK and then to Turkey so finding time to get back into trading with everything else going on has been a challenge.

Ive just sold the houses and although I did OK from the property market, based on previous results I feel I can do better out of short to mid-term trading - although I need to remind myself it was a pretty strong bull market back then. They say that the best way to make a small fortune is to start with a big fortune and invest it in the share market. Id like to keep my trading capital intact (definitely neither a big or a small fortune) and so am interested in chatting and swapping ideas with like minded traders and investors.

Happy Trading!
Carl

Hello everyone , I call myself the sponge cause I would like to soak up all of your infinite wisdom in the ways of investment without being a sucker to the shady financial planners etc ( Storm Financial and the like). I am just a lowly Fitter and Turner cum small business owner that is doing ok, but financial education never stops. Unless you want to retire on the pension, shock horror, this government sucks.

G'day folks, I'm a late 20s industry analyst for a well known company in Melbourne, specialising in sea transport. I'm on here to share in the community, and develop knowledge about the more abstract areas of the stockmarket that they never toldme about back at uni, and I don't get exposed to at work.
Cheers

Hi all

Long time reader first time poster. I've invested in property over the past 5 years but decided 2 years ago to start in equities and have found the best way to learn is to do try it yourself, and to take advice from this forum of course .

After buying a decent amount in bluechips over time which has tracked closely to the asx200 (actually better with some tasty spps ), I'm now looking to learn more about fundamental analysis after a good start from a few uni subjects and lots of reading on the net.

I look forward to sponging as much information as possible from everyone

[SuperGlue]

Hi all,

First time here, have been trawling this forum for awhile. Learn a lot just by reading some of the interesting comments.

Have been trading for a number of years & I guess all the hard work has its reward.

Cheers...........

Happy trading.

Hey guys
I'm just a student still, but have worked a bit and have money to throw into some speccies. I hope to learn a lot from you guys especially in the small-mid caps market as I am very into high risk high gains.

What do people think of FTE? Recent news suggest very promising signs by the end of the year=]??

 

[nik118]

hello, every one my name is Nik, I have just found this forum after a websearch and thought It would be a great opportunity to get some advice on a new business venture I have planned.

I have a PTY LTD company and was wanting to trade the ES & TF through this company does anyone know the tax implications of this or whether or not I can do it.

Cheers Nik

Hi all,

Have been trawling around this forum for the last few months and have finally made the move to register. I am 24 and have a nice little amount of cash saved. Work in offshore oil and gas o/s and thought about jumping into the property market in Perth (where I live) earlier this year, before getting cold feet and not being able to justify taking out a 400-500k loan to buy something somewhere I would like to live and on a decent amount of land.

I also have interests in forex as I am paid in US dollars atm and have also been thinking about having a dabble in the sharemarket, despite being quite pessimistic about the short to medium term. Nonetheless wouldn't mind a dabble to learn the ropes, with a small % of my savings.

I will endeavour to take in as much as I can from these forums, and hopefully put back in when I think I have something of worth to mention.

Welcome to all our new members.

Take some time to learn to use the search function if you havn't already.

And Remember the market isn't a get rich quick scheme. Its irrational and takes a hell of a lot of time to be able to constantly make money out of it

All the best

Prawn

Just a quick hello! My name is Damon, 22y.o. I've been trading for about 4 years and have experienced numerous rookie mistakes :S Been a member here for a while but thought I've learnt enough to start commenting

Hi to everyone, I'm a 54 yo financial adviser from Devonport looking to add some value and participate on this great forum.

Being a financial adviser makes me no wiser than many of the informed members on this site but having an intimate knowledge on the shortcomings of Financial Services industry has persuaded me that people need to be better educated and take control of their own finances rather than relying totally on professionals.

On a personal level I have traded stocks for years, dabbled in options and warrants and fairly active with forex and cfd's. I believe to be successful in stock investing you need to do your own research, have a trading plan and the self discipline to follow it. There's no perfect system out there but using a system is better than not having anything at all.

cheers,

Hi. I am an at home mum living in Perth (home of Lang Hancock and the iron ore success story).
Us sandgropers love our mining stocks especially speccies.
The general popn seems to abound with stories of success of punting on miners, but alas I am as yet not one of them...I am new to it all although I have been educating myself for over a year.
Am doing a course in tech analysis and LOVE following stock market and how economic factors play into the market which I guess is fundamental analysis.
Have heaps to learn and hope this forum will help me. Went to the ASX investor hour today - very good resource and think it's be good for all newbies to listen to the podcasts of them on asx website.
Thanks all. Bluemoon

 

[EverNothing]

G'day lads and ladettes.

Quick introduction. There was never any hope for me - son of an accountant and banker, studying business double degree but have recently decided to change majors from marketing/advertising to hospitality management and take up a creative writing course thus disappointing folks in the process. They'll get over it.

No desire to chase big money or looking to make a quick buck but currently have cash in a managed investment scheme (I know, I know ) and shares in ASX. Looking to invest further into property and possibly retail.

Oh, and I found this site purely on accident from ATF. Luckily i've been shopping around for a financial discussion forum for quite a while as well.

Cheers.
