Re: total return (inc. dividend reinvestment) Cheers, do you have a link? Do you need to be a commsec customer?

Hi all, Is there a graph online which shows the stocks including dividends? e.g telstra has hardly increased in price but has paid decent dividents. just want to be able to see total return - that way I can compare performance of income AND growth stocks.

Hey mate, banks have dropped another 10% since you wrote this :) just sayin'

Re: Basic online trading account: Low fees, easy to set up Thanks a lot for the leads - will look into Bell Direct. On the futures/options/int'l shares/commodities trading fronts, I definitely want to be able to trade the real things, not CFDs, as I don't necessarily want leverage...

Hi, please provide your opinion on the following: what's a decent, easy-to-set-up and use, affordable, online trading account for regular aussie shares? also, can anyone tell me their opinion on the same question, but for an account to trade shares, futures, commodities, foreign shares...

I'm not as short-sighted as I may seem - I'm a beginner and I know it, which is a 100 times smarter than a beginner who doesn't know it. I'm just looking to gain some understanding from ppl that've been there done that.. Personally I'm looking to get into options trading (long only) over the...

That's awesome, do you know who? Cool, I will definitely do this. **** Also, for Aussie equities, it's "stockcode_ax". Can Incrediblecharts look up bonds, overseas equities and ETOs? If so, what're the suffixes for those (I'm guessing somethings other than "_ax") - is there a page...

I should have worded my question more precisely as: "who holds short ETO options positions??" or even more simply... "who has to pay me if my long put/call positions finish in the money?" the reason I ask is because if I go long, take a huge win, and go to collect, I want to know that who...

thanks for picking that up, my mistake, CEOs wouldn't hold short positions unless they lack confidence in their own ability :) Incidentally.. I wonder how that would change CEOs attitudes to risk taking if they did hold short positions??!

This doesn't really answer my question, but that's really interesting. Because it explains why (using BHP for an example) the exercise price of calls where $26 and above, but then there'd be these really tiny call prices (literally $0.01 and $1.00)..

..just having a lot of fun on incrediblecharts... this is awesome! very random question.... but do you know of any such sites/programs which give annotated stock price histories? like, charts with little notes along the ups and downs stating their caueses? e.g. "this is when 1st quarter...
