Welcome Hustler,
Read as much as you can....asx.com.au website might be worth a try and click on Investor Education.

This is not something you know all about overnight and I'm sure if we are honest with ourselves, a lot of us would say it takes years of experience and we still can get it wrong. It might look easy while the market is rising but the downturns really sort you out...as I'm sure many of us can attest to, who have been here for awhile. Practise on paper awhile before you use your hard earned. Start small.....and be very patient.

There are people here to be wary of (sometimes more a case of 'over enthusiasm' than anything malicious)...you will work that out as you go. If you do hear a tip here, go do your own research first....take note of both sides of the argument.

You will more than likely lose money if you buy at the top of a run....and don't put your house on a spec buy!

Everyone has their favourite brokers (or ones they just put up with). From time to time you will see a comparison list of online brokers in the Financial Review.

Also as mentioned by others....use a STOP LOSS!!
and be cautious.

Good luck
