Hi All,

Long time lurker finally joining....

Still haven't actually invested anything in the market yet, been reading up on it for the last couple of years and trying to learn/understand what goes on.

Would describe myself as a value investor.

Cheers and look forward to getting involved!
 
Newby here. 27yo male. First traded back in 2007. Have only ever had Fully Paid Ordinary Shares.

I am yet to get in on an IPO and want to learn options trading.

Not here to write you my resume or tell u my strategies. I'd rather just be amongst it, try and pick the winners, listen to your opinions and learn.

Hi there, I'm a total noob when it comes to investing on my own. My parents set me up with shares when I was born, which are now worth ~$20K and I reinvest the dividends but that's my out-of-bounds money until I'm older and wiser to do something sensible with it (I'm 25). I have just over $40K in a "high" interest savings account but with the interest rates so low I was wondering whether it would be worth me buying some more shares in another company. I have noooooooooooooooo idea where to start, I was almost going to pay for the Kris Sayce Small Cap Investigator subscription but I'm not convinced its the real deal.

I'm thinking of a small amount of about $1,000 in some sort of promising company to get started on my own. Ahhh the opportunities!
 
Welcome to ASF. This is not advice, yada yada, but if I were you I'd be devoting considerable time to understanding the factors driving the present global situation with all the risks involved. Then to educating yourself about how the market works, deciding whether you are disposed toward a fundamental or a technical approach to share selection and management, before putting any real money out there.

The ASX has a quite good education course which you can work through at your own pace.

Most of the online brokers will also have some education on their websites.
 
Thanks for the welcome, I'm going to buy a book this arvo so get myself started. Just which one to choose will be the toughie :)

Thanks

First things first, welcome. Secondly the broker does NOT know everything. Thirdly there is no such thing as easy money ;) Enjoy the journey :)

"A broker" just called you out of the blue? You didn't already know him?
 
Hi everyone,

Been lurking around for a long time finally thought I would register and get involved. The ASX is something I have looked at on and off for years now, but due to my financially risk averse nature has been dificult for me to dive in to. I think though that it is time for me to take a bit of a "leap of faith" and finally give it a bit of a go.

Look forward to regularly learning new things,

Cheers,
 
Hi guys!

My name is Brent and I'm currently a student willing to learn how to invest my money. I understand the importance of setting myself up financially for the future, I hope to learn many things from this forum.


Cheers.
