Nice! I'm now up 12% overrall and 15% on CBA.. but I'm sure it will be down again

Update on my SMSF shares attempt. Up 11.5% which is nice since no management fees anymore. Ainsworth was a cracker with 35% gain. CBA was only 13% The other two are flat. Short term though, I'm more interested where they are in 15 years :) Collecting more employer credits and dividends...

Just switching to an SMSF instead of paying fees to a fund and losing money at the same time. Not buying property in SMSF since I think it's better to buy property outside of super, so I'm just going to hold shares. Can't do worse than the funds have done for me... The dividend yields are...

To put it in perspective, first home buyers or first time property investors dump $600k straight into a single investment (even if deposit is only 10%, they are still fully exposed to the market with leverage). Whereas my share investment I've only done some $25k purchases, with zero...

Yep I did pick the "other two" as BGA and AGI, that's why I thought you were discussing "these" as CBA and IAG since you said you "can't comment on the other two" Was that right or did you mean BGA and AGI are the unstable ones? Also please help understand the instability part, I'm not...

You're right, $5.30 not $2.30. $2.30 would have been nice :)

Last time I bought shares was 10 years ago, have been reading Montgomery (Value.able) and Buffet in preparation for testing the waters with my SMSF and finally took the plunge. Finished my first purchases for SMSF over the last few weeks: * $25k CBA @ $81.37 - up 1% * $25k IAG @ $6.46 - down 3%...

Hi China, Why not several commercial IPs? Why only one? I haven't bought commercial yet but my thoughts were that several would be safer from a vacancy and risk/diversification perspective... Do you get better yield with more money down into a single large CIP?

Interesting thread. I've just started SMSF and intending to put into 10 different blue chips for long term hold, whichever stocks have value. The transfer will probably happen end of October, will keep reading in the meantime.
