Wife and i just had a lil daughter and have invested 10k into some shares for her in the future.
Dont know to much about the market so just go with what seems to be a good and stable company.
Some of u will prob say..sh*&^ , what has this guy done...lol...hence the reason im after some feedback.....So...we bought wbc..tts...flt...tox...bxp...and bil.
Only major concern in bxp and tox.......we dont watch the market much so dont really keep a good eye on it. Are these stocks ok to leave or r they ones to watch readily?
Thanks

Hello Wriggles
Just wondering what selection criteria you used in choosing the above?

Not much selection criteria going on here...
Wbc: just thought it was a reasonable bank and would maybe grow to nab level....thought it was a good buy at around $20
Tts: again....every1 gets tatts etc...thought it could poss take ova unitab..and when it dropped to 2.80 or whateva i thought i would jump on...spose it depends on the liscence etc to whether it will do well...guess we'll c.
Flt....think its still a good company...with the original guy back in charge...again thought it was cheap at under 10$...thought that although a lot of internet bookings r going on...ppl r still out there that want that 1 on 1 service?
Tox......was actually a word of mouth thing from a friend. So we'll c what happens.
Bxp: just thought it has potential....some competition there such as aus post and bpay....but still i think has good ground.
Bil...just think its another good company.
Lol...so as u can c.......just all hunches accept 1. The only one imo which i think will be good for the future is wbc.
And snake....lol....guess i will be taking her to the wiggles....shes 6mths old...so ive still got a bit of time up my sleeve. I wont b jumping in to one of those suits in a hurry though.
Thanks.

Flt - I can't see a good growth story for this company. I would look elsewhere.

No worries Wriggles. I don`t like the management structure of BXP and I felt the effects of it in November.
Cheers

Thats what im not sure of snake...is a stock such as bxp..a stock to watch all the time...or can i just sit on it and leave it for a while without watching it?

Wriggles,
My SMSF consists of largely blue chip companies which have produced consistent growth and reliable yield. It includes obviously some of the "big banks", plus BHP, MBL, Suncorp, Westfield, etc etc.
However, "reliable" though these stocks may be, I would not fail to watch what they are doing at least twice a week. And if I had speculative small companies I'd be watching them every day.
Others may disagree. I just don't like being taken surprise if I haven't been watching what's happening for a week or so.
It's a great idea to buy shares for your baby daughter. So it's worth protecting her interests.
All the best
Julia

hmmm i would consider anz, as an alternative to wbc, since it has increased presence in asia (to cater for al those soon-to-be-cashed up chinese) and it has the biggest margins of the big 4...
I would be careful about flt, qantas cut commissions, but i dont know much about it, i guess one-on-one service is what they have going for them, people either order tickets this way or online.... maybe hedge ur bets and take a stake in web...?
BIL has rave reviews from those in the know including craig james and paul xirades, they reckon sale of cleanaway was a big plus, and i personally reckon CHEP is such a good business...
the other stocks u mentioned, i dont know much except that TOX has had a good run lately!
I would seriously consider getting exposure to BHP and WPL, oil+uranium and oil, wpl has 1,3billion barrels in reserves, u really cant go wrong in the long term...
just my opinion..
all the best & good luck..!!

for full year 2005 production was 59.7mmboe
target for 2006 is 27% increase to 76mmboe
but analysts agree that this figure is conservative..
i shouldve bought in at 3860 on thurs but missed out, even today i put an order 4100 didnt get filled...
i have a feeling wpl maybe finish this year in the 60s...
sorry guys for off-topic discussion...

Thanks guys and girls for your opinions...spose if i havent got the time every day to check those spec stocks then i might sell and put the $ into something i can check up on once a week. Also, maybe buy into other areas such as resource stocks, and try and have an egg in each basket.
