Beginners - Introduce yourselves!

Hey everyone! I'm a 23 year old student from Adelaide.

I'm trying to get a feel for the ASX and start trading soon! What's the best website in Aus for real time stocks and share prices, and what sort of things should I be looking for in a stocks and shares website?

Thank you so much!
 
I'm very green, hence the name.

In truth not looking to invest for years to come. I'm treating this like a career shift - I want to educate myself completely first.

I understand the value I've diving in (albeit with small amounts) - that attitude is how I've lived most of my life. However I have live business to invest in at this stage and I feel my capital is better spent there.

Anyone followed this path? and can recommend a good place/s to start?

Cheers
 
Hello,
This seems like a great active community with extensive knowledge on investing in Australia. I have just started my journey in buying/selling stocks and I will probably be asking many dumb questions (sorry).
My background:
Been playing league of legends (video game) for the last 4 years: hardcore (6-16 hours a day, average 12 hours)
Currently:
18 yrs old, shifted my focus to university.
 
found the site searching for a platform to trade US Stocks with, so here I am.

Still haven't found one that makes me feel good, hope this pans out.

I expect it will take a good 6-12 months before I have anything valuable to contribute, but I look forwards to giving back as much as I can if I manage to make this lifestyle work out.

Thanks all!
 
Hello everybody

I have some spare time at the moment so I decided to start looking at trading, I have watched a few youtube videos, downloaded Incredible charts trial and a paper trading spreadsheet.

My next step is to get some education...If anybody can recommend some good providers of education or share how they educated themselves that would be great
 
Hi
I started trading 2 months ago and have been studying for a while. I am interested in biotech and tech stocks as I myself work in IT. Hope this works.
 
If you are new to the stock market, I would say read and learn as much as you can, then throw the books out as they will quickly become redundant. You have to learn by losing and making money, those are the lessons that will teach you the most. You can start with small amounts of money so the losses will be minimal as you learn. Then increase as your system proves itself. The system is something you have to develop for yourself, but includes risk levels, psychology, knowledge, financial position, day jobs, family, etc, etc, etc. There is a LOT to learn, but don't let that put you off. I have not been very successful in all the many years I have been in the stock market, but i have learnt SO much about psychology, myself, money, global economy, history, etc, etc, so that alone has been worth it.
 
hey guys! i've been reading the forums a little while now, and decided it'd definitely be a good place to hang about. quite new to investing, haven't done any trading yet... hoping to learn a few pointers before i go into that one.

Here Goes !

Based in Brissy -just started doing the initial research. I figure my first real trades are several months away as still finding out how this all hangs together, what tools I will need, what resources are available etc etc.

Would be interested in touching base with someone who is practicing day trading to hear first hand their journey and experiences.

have you checked out CMC Markets? Motleyfools were recommending them to new traders plus they have lower fees compared to the big four.
 
Hi everyone!

This is my first financial market forum I've joined. It looks like an active forum so I wanted to try.

From QLD and an aspirant Financial Analyst/Manager in the future. Still a student. Eager to learn from many different sources.

Hoping I could be part of a network of vigorous individuals/group who have financial growth mindset.

Happy learning/investing to all!!!
 
G'day all! New to investing and of course these threads. Looking to make my first stock purchases in a few months and obviously very nervous. Dont know what I am doing, i've picked a few stocks and as soon as I get my small personal loan out of the way I will be over doubling the amount in to my mortage and the rest in to some investing. Very excited to get started. Until I am ready, doing all the reading I can. But man...there is so much reading.

Hi all,

I'm new to trading but have floated around the idea of trading in my head for a while now, but never took it beyond that. Like a lot of people here, im looking to investigate whether the stock market is for me and will give it a few months of focused study.

Cheers
