finance student here, frustrated that alot of the stuff we learn at uni is next to useless.

Currently on the search for info on my own, i am particularly drawn into the fundamental side of things as i know my way around balance sheets and love reading books by the big man buffett. Also would love to learn about TA , not as a primary way of analysis but more of a consolidation/confirmatory to my fundamentals.
 
i joined ages ago and for some reason didn't come back much. been reading lots of posts recently and haven't been contributing. Figure i should start by saying hi here again. Thanks for all the great info thats on here.
 
Hey all,

17 turning 18, got some money to invest, hopefully i like it and turn it into a lifetime part of life

From victoria

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm a 30-something looking to learn more about investing sensibly. This looks to be a really good forum.

Cheers
 
hi everyone, i'm mid 20 something, learning about stock trading, been meaning to do it for many many a year.

I have a feeling it may be a bit more sensible then playing poker or betting on NBA results, although I have had success in both. (I keep spreadsheets to ensure I am making money, and I decided with poker that if I got to $1,000 losses I would quit, and $500 with NBA betting, thankfully I never got anywhere near those 2 figures)

For the stocks the figures are a bit different.

Learning a lot and have been trading since January.

My goal is to get a better return then term deposits or savings accounts
 
Hi to you all.

I am an unashamedly share addict, and have been buying and selling 15 plus years. I currently hold (long and short term), 28 stocks and specialise in resource stocks.

Was a senior public servant for 17 years, and for the past 16 years have operated a personal training and rehab company.

Have degrees in Economics, post grad in Management, and Dip in Science.

After browsing this site for some months, I am very impressed with the quality of contributions, and looking fwd to becoming an active member.

Good trading to you all

Tim
 
Hi All,

Auditor in training- having fun grasping the internals and am finding the externals just as fascinating.
Have a very very very modest portfolio which is at its beginnings but am looking to see if I can grow it sustainably.

Much to say, I am loving wbc at the current moment. : )
 
Hello,

Looking to make some extra cash to buy some camera equipment.

Had some luck during my uni days and thought I'd give it another go as money is tight these days with the bills and interest rate hikes.

Just on the past few days of reading posts, I can see there is alot to learn in a quick space of time. I hope to slot into a group with similar interests and financial goals, but most importantly to make new friends.

Hope to see ya around.

Gizmo.
 
Hi All,

Fairly new to the trading scene having owned a fair amount of stock ( still holding ADI, FML and some other little mining stocks ) & Also after having a go at futures I've realised I'm on the wrong path so I'm here to learn as much as I can!
 
Hello!

My name is Emma, I'm from Perth.

I'm a complete & utter NEWBIE!

I don't know a single thing about about stocks or trading.......absolutely nothing Even the terminology is beyond me.

All I know is that I'm ready to start, I'm in for the long run, I have time to study.....&....I'm incredibly driven & focused. This has gotta be a good start right!!??

So, can anyone suggest a good starting point? Books, courses etc. Baring in mind, I have no experience whatsoever

I'd really appreciate your feedback guys, you'd be my guardian stock angels

Look forward to "seeing" y'all round.

Thanks!

Em.
 
John B here.
Looking to set myself and my family up for life in the long term.
Have been trading speculatively for about 10 years, on and off as cash flow permits.
Will be investing more heavily soon as finances permit.
Have had some luck with a wildly speculative gold stock which I sold out for approx 400% profit but that was a fluke
Look forward to the discussion and reading the wealth of info and hopefully down the track I'll have something of value to contribute back.

Cheers,
JB

Hello, i have been trading at home since 2004. I am a full time mum and trade generally after hours with set buy and sell positions on the ASX. i have made money earlier but struggled through the GFC.

I find it a little isolating at home and with young kiddies it is hard to get into the groove and stay there. i am looking at expanding my knowledge and experience and move into new areas.

i trade on the comsec website.

I have read a few postings so far and i really appreciate the time some people put into their assistance. thank you so much!

Hi All,
I've been registered on this site for a while, but this is first post (at least that I can remember ).

I would like to learn about trading indices like top 300, or 100 on ASX.

I think you need an account with a cfd provider to do this?

I would also like some info negative gearing a share portfolio, can this be done? I work in construction and pay a lot of tax, looking for ways to use these tax dollars to invest.

Cheers Terry
 
Hi, Everybody

I have been a member in this forum since last March ( https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18974&page=2) , But I saw this tread today.

I am Mohsen , Practicing Stock Market and Forex for more than 3 years professionally. I live in Iran right now and I am fully active to Iranian Stock Market. I will move to Australia soon and eager to know more about Aussie Stock Market. I think one of the efficient way for this is sharing my knowledge with others in a prominent forum. I find out this forum very active and useful full with experienced traders.

I have passed classes in Technical and Fundamental analysis courses. I am using these analysis to my trades, I also write continuously in prominent forum in my country. I am one of the manager of a prominent forum (http://www.farabourse.net/showthread.php?t=888&page=3) in my country.

Hope be able to exchange our ideas in an efficient way.

Best Regards
Mohsen
 
Hello Mohsen,
I don't mean to be intrusive, but it would be good to know why you are moving to Australia.

Would be interesting to hear first hand from you about life in Iran. The little we do hear via the news media gives the sense that life there is pretty oppressive.

Welcome to ASF.
 

Dear Julia
Thanks for your interest, I am an senior engineer and I prefer to continue my career in Australia. Few of my relatives and friend live there and I think Australia is a nice country to live.

Be Honest with you here we live under a severe dictatorship, Our people are nice and kind, but what can I say about the Government.

I dont want to go to details but here we live in one of the most unstable countries in all sectors, economic, political, social ...if you want to know more about here please send a message to me.

the only worry I have is that I am used to trade in Iranian Stock Market but I know little about Aussie Stock Market. The reason I am here is to get familiar with it as well as sharing my knowledge with the others.

Happy to be in ASF before being in Australia

Best Regards
Mohsen
 
Thanks, Mohsen.
I've sent you a PM.

Cheers
Julia
