First of all I would like to apologize for my recent absence. Things got a little busy. @bailx Hi and thanks for your interest :). I am quite keen to start trading but I don't believe I have the time in the next couple years. I'm in year 11 and taking on pretty hefty subjects. I think I need...

supply and demand... supply and demand...but $75?!?!? Who were your customers? Kids at school? Thats some big money

It was compliant 10 years ago, not sure now, but I'm assuming it is or isn't far off. We are able to actually keep stock AT the wharf in China. I understand that my situation isn't optimal because I can't dive in but it is just an idea. To compensate for my lack of reputation I am willing to...

@TMC93 It's more your hobby than your investment I'm assuming? However, I think It's really cool that you are making money from doing something you are passionate about! I like the idea of the extra super contribution and taking advantage of what the government has to offer, but honestly, I...

You know, I wish I could sit down with some of you people and just breathe knowledge for an hour or two. I always find it almost "exciting" listening in on my dad's business meetings or during negotiations/talks. Hope you don't mind me slipping that post into my stash of quotes.

Hi Sir O, thanks for your time. Your thread was actually one of the first I visited. I will swim through the sea of knowledge gradually :). Thanks. I agree that I lack knowledge and I appreciate the fact you have read my comments to come to this conclusion(I'm assuming you did). I will do...

Thanks for your patience. I understand what you mean now :).

Sorry if I offended you with my statement. I was trying to make a point that in SE Melbourne, an apartment like that is UNLIKELY to depreciate in the long run. I was being too general and exaggerated. EDIT: However my dad did bring to my attention that in the future when apartments are going...

My main concern with this is my lack of knowledge. I did play that stock market game and ended up with a portfolio worth something like 52k (from 50k after 10 weeks) EDIT:The game seems to continue after it is finished? My portfolio is now worth 55k Code Holding Current value Current price...

Hi and thank you :) I understand your concerns. I would need to do more research. I don't want to stick extra money onto the loan each month though. I want the investment to mostly sort itself out financially once I get started. Would you guys have any other idea on your mind that may suit...

Thanks alot. I like to tell myself this but it feel good to hear it from someone else. I understand your concerns about the loan. But as I mentioned, and as far as I know,the value of the car space will not drop and the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining the car space are again...

Thanks for your input! Could someone please link me to the thread or summarise why "risk averse" investors don't do well? I'm also open to other ideas other than stocks as well though :) He says that buying a car parking space in the Melbourne CBD costs around 50-60k. He says I could...

Sorry, not sure what your talking about. Did a quick google search. Are you talking about Interactive Brokers? Something that makes more money than leaving it in the bank at a low risk. I also have time on my side and as I mentioned I don't have to spend any money. Thanks again.

Hi everyone! I am currently fifteen years old with around $10,000 of money I'm willing to invest. I also have a weekly income of around $100~200. How should I get started? I do not have any financial commitments and don't earn enough to pay tax. I want to start investing but am not sure...
