I discovered yesterday that GBA has a safe (former Westpac buulding) in Buderim Qld. It is hard to find a safe deposit box system nowadays in Australia to store official papers, PM, etc Gba also sells PM and has another office in the Gold Coast. Has anyone had any experience with these mobs? Fees were reasonable and as expected friendly approach Feel free to DM me if you prefer to public answer Thanks in advance ..read more

Hi Everyone, As you can see with my name I am new to the stock market game.However I am now living in Thailand and took interest in the stock market game as Asia's economy is emerging. I already created a virtual portfolio and have played around with different companies. Since I am new I was hoping to buy some books and learn the basics and how to's and found some high rated ones on Amazon.com. However I was wondering if the things taught in books published that mention the Dow Jones... Read more ..read more

Just got a call from someone that asked a pretty simply question that I've never really considered before. The ASX opens 10am and closes 4pm. In this day and age of relatively fast and effecient electronic trading and settlement why is the market still only open 10am to 4pm? Why can't market hours be extended to 9am to 5pm? I'm sure there's a good reason, I just don't know what it is. Any ideas ..read more

Just wondering if there are any subscribers to the new Marketsurge analysis platform for the William O'Neil CANSLIM approach for US stocks here? I'm thinking I might do the Mark Minervini Master Trader Program to get up to speed with this approach. Like to hear from anyone that's been down this road. Thanks ..read more

Very rooky question here I know, but I have to ask it. I understand that if I'm going to trade U.S stocks (as an Australian in Australia, using an Australian Broker) I need to purchase USD and the cost of the conversion is rather significant. I noticed that in my HSBC account I can purchase USD as well, and the cost of doing so is significantly cheaper than the rates the brokers ask for. I gather it's a real money spinner for the brokers. Is it possible to purchase your USD... Read more ..read more

I've been having trouble accessing Yahoo Finance in recent times, mainly after and before trading hours but sometimes during the day. I decided to try using a VPN to see if I was being Geo-blocked by Yahoo Finance, and sure enough I was. As soon as I connect through the VPN I was able to access Yahoo Finance again. Has anyone else had this experience? It's rather annoying ..read more

This is a very rookie question but I have to ask it. What news feed does everybody use for day trading Australian stocks? Is there some reputable news providers, paid, free, cheap/ expensive? I am not sure who to go with. I do realise that Bloomberg provides a news feed but I'm sure it's horrendously expensive. Any hints ..read more

There were a few Aussies in the sales pitch "information" session... He spent three days "teaching" bull put spreads on SPY; leaving out soooo much information, failing to make his numbers add up etc. Not a great advertisment (IMHO) for his (expensive, IMHO) coaching services and software package... but there were a lot of people in that webinar too keen to part with their money! What did you think ..read more
