Thanks guys! Its really good to hear examples like this:)

Just wondering how many different shares do people on here have? Is it risky to have all your money in just 1 share? Or better to have a few to spread the risk out a bit? What do you people do?:)

true, I guess they are well known, just not massively traded, I got in at around $1.15, what about you? I did buy flt earlier this year when they went down to $5, they are now at $15, but this was in the asx game while I was still setting up my real account- doh!

I probably want to hold them for 2- 6 months, longer if they keep doing well. I want to buy more because they have gone up 30% in the month or 2 I have had them- more than any of my other shares, and I believe there is scope for them to go higher. I just dont want to be stuck with 25G...

I have a few shares in a company, and I was thinking of buying more, but today there was only 6 trades and a volume of 9000. Im not exactly sure what that means, but if I spend 10G buying more, can I get stuck with them? And will it be hard to sell them? (obviously being a less traded company)...

Thanks so much everyone! Well I definately wont be going with E trade by the sounds. I'm just setting up an account now with bell, I'll let you know how I go!

Im looking to buy some shares, never done it before but you have to start somewhere! I have an anz account so Im looking for a share trading program that I can use with that. Ive had a look at ANZ E*TRADE Online Share Trading, but the fees per transaction found here...
