I'm 19 and i live in australia, can i get some advice about how to start playing with shares?

I'm still in uni, i have casual work and a fair bit of money i can use for investment. I would like to start buying shares but i dont know where to begin. I looked on the internet for advice but its confusing. Advice or suggestions welcome.

Hi,
Firstly you should learn about stock trading. I advice to read the books indicated below. It would be very usefull:
Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager;
Technical Analysis by Jack D. Schwager;
Comprehensive Course on The Wave Principle by A.J. Frost and Robert Prechter;
Candlestick Charting Explained- Timeless Techniques for Trading Stocks and Futures by Gregory L. Morris;
Trading Chaos 鈥?Applying Expert Techniques to Maximize Your Profit by Bill Williams;
New Trading Dimensions by Bill Williams

Then you should open trading account with brokerage company and start trading.

I could introduce you to brokerage company that allows to trade 500 instruments from one account including cfd on shares, metals, commodities and currency trading. If you are interesting then please pm or e-mail me (press on my name). Once you open account under my referral and deposit the funds i provide you with some trading technique for free.

investment advisors (FUZZY B!) are out to make money off of you. Edward Jones is an investment firm in the US, and my cousin said they routinely charge him $500 to make a trade! He has since switched to a company that charges $7 to make a trade. They don't give advise, but they are 99% cheaper. Report It

Don't "play" and don't listen to anyone on here about your money.

Find a good advisor and go from there. You've worked too hard and there are too many people skulking the net trying to rob you blind.

My advice to you is not to play with shares but invest in them. I believe you will be better off taking a longer term view. You had sacrificed your time for the money you earned. So, why "play" away your money when most, if not all, people lose when they "play" in a casino? Go with blue chips and review them quarterly. Most importantly, do your own homework as professionals could get it wrong too! Good luck!

I'm in the USA, but what I do is use Yahoo finance. Look at today's markets then click on actives. This will tell you what's moving in the market. Start looking at these stocks, read about them and why they went up (or down). Or click on mutual funds, then click on top performers. There are some pretty impressive funds out there! Patience, time and research will help you understand where to put your cash-a-roni. Good luck!

you can start by setting up a comsec share trading account which is free and through the commonwealth bank, this lets you by and sell shares on line and the brokerage fees are about a third of what you'd normally pay,after that you can either get advice from a financial adviser/ share broker (which you will pay for)or research yourself
