Hello Yall.

Just been browsing the Forums for a while. The things you learn just observing people is really amazing. One of the rules on these forums i think is dont ask for Financial advice, and all i can see around me is advice with regards to finance. Anyway...

My name is Jonathan Henry, i am a Marketing Manager in an International Translation agency called StealthTranslations. We are a translation agency based in Larne, Northern Ireland which specializes in supplying top quality translations and other language services to companies in varied sectors of industry, including the governmental, educational, financial, technological, medical, legal, manufacturing and publishing sectors to the Global Market.

I am really just trying to get more acquainted with the Australian Market. So to be more versatile with trading knowledge. Looking forward to building some new business relationships.

Thanks for having such a great amount of useful information available.

I hope that didnt come out badly. I was more just saying. woah what a wealth of knowledge.
I will hopefully catch on. Thanks for the welcome.
 
Hello Jonathan,

Welcome.

Your occupation sounds very interesting.
Do you include a service which offers translation from political weasel words to ordinary English?, i.e. decoding of spin?

Hi Julia thanks for warm welcome.

Yea you could say that, that might fall under the category of Localisation. We have translated lot of legal and political documents over the years and it would be fair to say that Political English is another language from English.
 
Hi All. I'm Jay. American new to Australia (Perth). Have lived in Malaysia/Singapore for the past decade. Have been trading full time 10 years also. I trade mostly S/P futures and forex. Have developed several trading systems and hoping to adapt them to either the SPI or ASX. Hope to learn some things about Aussie trading here. Thanks.
 
G'day,
Might as well start off with the typical Aussie greeting. I am so GREEN to this I should be saleable to SW of WA, who are still in drought.

Hope to learn from all that is here and others. Never too old to learn. As I am also a pilot, I live by.... "There are bold pilots and there are old pilots....... alas... not too many old bold pilots."
Cheers
 
Hey guys,

I'm a 1st year student studying commerce at UNSW. Attempting to major in actuary and finance

Just getting started in shares properly. I've traded a few times in highschool (blindly) and got lucky with Newcrest a few years ago. However, I know myself that it was pure luck. Just reading a few books at the moment and getting up to date with the news. I just hope to learn something by looking through the forums :

Thanks. See you guys round!

Hey guys,

Stumbled across this forum last night and will lurk on here for a while and learn as much as possible.

I work online and make low xxx,xxx so basically looking to diversify, learn a new market and possibly set up a business in the market eventually.
 
howdy all,

Been looking at this forum for awhile and have enjoyed the no BS approach most of the members have. I've been loving how people aren't afraid to offer constructive criticism and partake in the spirit of learning, development and education.

whilst not an experienced trader and/or investor (I do both), I hope I can use these forums to contribute and also to learn a heap more.

Oh and as we are moving into state of Origin time... go QLD (and the REDS!!)

Regards,

Jayvan
 
Hi Everyone

I'm Jamie 25 years old from Perth WA

I've been long term trading for about 4 - 5 years now and want to get a bit more serious now as over that period i have had some good wins and some not so good but thats all apart of learning i guess and can only help me in the future

I remember stumbling onto this forum a few years back but never joined up but have decided to as i'm sure it will help in the future.

I've started to look into forex recently and thats how i stumbled across the forum again

I'm interested in learning about charting a bit more too

Hopefully i can post some stuff that is helpful to others and read posts that are helpful to me

Thanks Jamie
 
Hello guys and gals,
My name is ferretbiter, 20 years old, personal trainer/group exercise instructor/fitness instructor from grafton NSW ( don't worry if you have never heard of it, no-one has).

Recently came into contact with a bit of capital due to the passing away of my father.
Really don't want to lose the money as he paid for it with 30+ years of his life.

Have dabbled in mutual funds for 1 year now, been trading stocks for around about 5months, first 4 stocks returned 15-25% profit.Last 3 stocks lets just not talk about.
There's only one thing I know about stock trading and investing, and that is: I know absolutely nothing.

But I'm willing to learn and have a long time to do it.
Though sooner is better then later :.

P.S. Anyone looking for some nutrition/fitness advice, fire away .
 
Hi all,

My name is Jamie & my wife & 2 girls moved to the hunter Valley 3 years ago.
I day traded for 4 yrs & finished trading in 2007 when my job change didnt allow me to have Etrade running in the background.

I miss trading, however, previously it was done for fun (Plus made some money). Now i am looking to invest for the future with a mix of property & equities.
I have a lot to learn & will endeavor to read as much as i can prior to asking simplistic questions.

Cheers

Jamie
 
Hi all!

I'm 33yrs old and first traded in 2006.

All my trades til now have been on a hot tip! like betting horses in the Melbourne cup!

Did my first profit/loss statement recently and let me tell you, was feeling sick!

With a young family and yet to put a secure roof over our heads! NO MORE!

Will do lots of reading and RESEARCH RESEARCH & RESEARCH!

Hopefully I could one day contribute to others newbies here not make the same mistakes that I did!
