I like to hear about other peoples winning trades the same as I like to hear about someones bargain property purchase. This has been a great thread to read as trading can be a very lonely thing to do. I am lucky in a way as hubby and I both trade with separate accounts so we have a little...

Tony and Emma, my suggestion would be to do a bit of research and buy a couple of shares, maybe split your 10 k 5 ways and then watch what those shares do. If you make say 10% (after brokerage) on one of them in a few weeks then consider selling and picking another. do this for a while just to...
