Hello to everyone at aussie stock forums,

Since my retirement 3 years ago I've acquired a general interest in all things financial, particularly shares, and deciding if I was going to be an investor or a trader. I choose investor, as I'm not clever enough nor experienced enough to be a frequent trader, but one day I'd like to give my broker a torrid time with winning trades! I should have started this adventure 40 years ago, however better late than never.

I have been doing some reading around AS forums, hope to do a lot more and pick-up some knowledge along the way.

Cheers

Hi Guys, Nice to be a member of the forum. I have just got some company shares given by the company. Can I give them to my wife and let her pay the tax on the shares as she has a lower income than me and will pay less tax?

Hi glenmorangie.
Welcome to ASF

Regards your query, you cannot simply give them away!
You need to transfer them, possibly incurring fees in so doing.

And I believe you still take a hit from the taxman.

I may be wrong, I often am, so DYOR (do your own research)!
 
Hey,

Just started out investing in May been lurking around for a while. Been interested in investing for a while and finally have some capital to do so (very small amount).

Anyone got any good book recommendations (there's a thread; I saw it before but I can't find it!), I've read One Up on Wall St and am looking for simple ideas that are solid in the long term.
 

These two seem to be the most popular on here:

1) Trade your way to financial freedom by Van Tharp

2) Unholy Grails by Nick Radge
 
G'day guys.

I've never owned any shares before but I'm interested in buying some. I don't know where to look for the best ones, who to trust ect. Where do you guys find good shares from?

Eventually I'm wanting to begin paper trading (before i go live) and write covered calls on stock and then ensure the underlying position with put options.

Thanks for any help guys!
 
Another Newbie!

Hi

Just thought I would pop my head in and say "Hi" not investing currently as I am in research faze. Would like feedback in regards to "online trading" and value for money!! I am looking at trading mostly in Options and also some shares. If anyone can direct me to the best places it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
 
Re: Another Newbie!


Welcome,

Trading options in Oz is a very hard game, especially if you are taking directional bets. I doubt you will be able to come up with a positive expectancy system doing so.
 
Hi,

Been coming to this site for a couple of months now and have found is very useful. There seems to be a group of people here that really know their stuff and I feel I can learn a lot.

I'm a value investor myself, but I'm really interested in seeing where technical analysis can take me, which is why I've joined this forum. Ive been reading the "learning technical analysis" thread and I'm hooked!
 
Hi all,

My name's Justin and I've been visiting this site for quite some time, reading up on things.

I've re-started trading the markets (asx stocks and cfds) - it's been my goal for years to get back into trading, and now I'm starting to go about it the right way. I think being here, amongst experienced traders, can only enhance that, and I'm really looking forward to asking q's and participating in discussions.

Thanks to everyone on this site for being generous with their knowledge and opinions, I look forward to chatting to you on various threads.

Happy (or emotionless) trading,

Justin
 
Hi all,
Just joined as I have been investing now for a couple of years, lost some, won some, hoping to share and gain knowledge from others.

All the best

Hi all,

Have enjoyed reading posts on the site for many months, thought I would register.

Currently hold AGK, AMM, ANZ, BLY, BHP, NAB, TAP, TGA, WES, primarily holding long term and reinvesting dividends. Have recently started basic trading a few stocks which has been working well to date.

Currently in process of establishing a SMSF so activity will only increase in coming months.

Good luck to all, interesting times ahead.
