i do not have any ASX counters yet. Should start with BOQ?

To be safe and to start getting a feel,... I would have started with MYS last year,... 

Intsead,... I started with Telstra,...

Starting with a safe and 'winning' ctr gives a lot of spirit in he investing mind,....

.... True,... CUP was mine to start with too,... I believed I was the one to intro CUP into this forum,...  And to many of my friends too who wanted to start with the ASX last year !!!

Today,... CUP turned out like this,....   

Sorry to all,......................

3.15 next....then 3.10

Momentum towards <3.00

Another investment tactic, from the perspective of an Aussie investor :-

Hi mate, forgive me I've sort of been talking out loud here without directly addressing you or your questions. I didn't mean to be rude - everyone tends to have their own plans, strategies etc. etc. and often people don't want direct advice so I tend to steer away from offering it.

My plan & strategies are based on 26 years in the market, I started early (one of my first buys way the initial TLS public offering) and over that time I've seen it all and researched/studied extensively to learn a great deal about this game. I'm still a good 25 years or so away from retirement and I'm doing OK but intending to create multiples of my current nest-egg by the time retirement arrives. I'm not sure of your outlook or time frame - my strategies might not make sense for your needs.

Some advice I would offer right now is to try and stop thinking about when the next divvy payment is due. For two reasons:

1) Thinking about the ex divvy date is only a distraction that will cloud your overall view of the best time to buy NAB. This rule applies for all ASX stocks - don't ever jump in based on a divvy payment, the price you pay for the shares is more important than the next divvy.

2) Just about every divvy paying ASX200 stock drops by EXACTLY (and often more) than the divvy on the day the stock goes ex-divvy. Why pay $1 more for NAB pre-divvy if you know you can buy her for $1 less the next day? It's a false economy.

So... Again unsure if my strategies will work for your needs but you keep your money in your bank account and just watch your favourite big ASX200 stocks that pay a nice chunky divvy. And you just keep watching until a stock that you fancy hits a 12 month low and then you buy a few - not too many, but enough to be grateful if (say) the share price kicks back up to a 12 month high. Then just keep doing that same thing as regularly as you can afford to invest and collect those dividends along the way - DRP them if you possibly can (this is crticially important).

End of strategy. Don't buy stocks when they are going up, don't look for the best performing stock. Look for that ASX200 stock that is in the toilet because that's how the magic of wealth creation happens.

Bro, past experience for Australia is 20+ years without a recession. But recession is really threathening now. Cannot use past to predict future for this time.. So better cabut asap. Risk of consolidation is very high, in fact it is already happening. Pessimism is really high here

Ya Melbourne and Sydney property market started to cool. Just beginning. Perth and Brisbane already experience downturn.

To me, property market is dependent on the job market. WA suffered from end of mining boom and many relocate back to eastern states. So the property price is down in Perth. For Sydney and Melbourne, as long as economy is growing, people have jobs, then there won't be a crash. But economy and job prospect is quite persimistic now. And policy to reduce immigrants will also affect the economy. So I think Australia will experience recession again since 20+ years.

No good for stock market.

As for Malaysia property, jobs still aplenty. So although property market is no good in terms of transaction volume, but people are still holding to it and the price is still stuck up there. Except for those over leveraged speculators, I think Malaysia property market will be flat, or at worst a slight down in price. Until Malaysia economy is down, then situation might change

Perth property got a lot of bargain now. Expected yield in 2-3 years time could be quite good. You plan to buy for investment ?

Well,.. bro, for one, this fella DOES NOT hold bank shares. Hence, his emotional tendency would be to find all possible faults with banks.

Secondly, as equities investors, if we don't invest into bank shares at all,... what else can we risk our funds on ??

How about oil and gold  Thrill of the roller coaster ride.

Banks should be a must in all portfolio. Find a good stable bank and stick with it. Eg Public Bank.

Boss

Can name me few stabilisers so that I may add into my portfolio ?

Ooo stocks first...

Like Public Bank Gold Acc, that is asset ?

Boss,

The GLD:SP is kept for its cap appreciation purpose ? If I see for 5 yrs horizon, the price is consider low..so I should buy and keep abit as stabilizer ?

Boss

Why GLD:SP keep dimishing lately ?? Time to go in ??

Just under 1 month ago the Aussie $ is expected to go down. Now it go up pulak
