Hi,
Ghotib, thanks for your suggestions.
The reason I was interested in tip sheets is that they are up to date and may offer some guidance for a relative novice like myself. There is a bewildering amount of information available to the investor. In fact, you can find directly opposing views on any market topic you happen to research.

Richkid,
once I started reading thru old posts on this forum it's hard to stop.The knowledge bank in this cyber libary (hey, I just invented that term) is incredible. But I am determined to learn this game ( sometimes I think It is similar to gambling on the GG"s)
I have done a lot of property investing over the years and had a fair amount of sucssess. One major difference between Property investing and share investing is the speed of the market place. With property I might spend months looking at an area and then buy with long term aims given the (relatively slow) pace of movement, and the entry and exit costs.

With shares, it moves up and down daily and and has so many more factors impacting on your investment.I can come home from work, log on to my portfolio and discover I have just lost more from my shares than I made in my job.
Bye,
Lucy
