There was RIO, FLT and CBA at the start and then I added in MGX, which was my favourite to trade, but I am not sure about the rest anymore. I have traded NAB, ANZ and WBC but they were not part of my regular trades, also WOW and WES some I traded are gone. At the highest point I was trading maybe 20 tops but I always fell back to "my" shares.
I had watched a small group of shares every day for nearly a year before I pulled the trigger and bear in mind the market was still dropping as it didn't really bottom out until March 09, so I made some terrible trades in there too but as I was buying shares (not CFDs yet) I just held the odd position if it had a reasonable dividend in it.
Once the market started going up, well, making money was extremely easy, too easy in hindsight as it made me over-confident and I took stupid risks.
I can look at the experience now, see where i went wrong and I think I can do better the next time around. God knows I have paid for an expensive education
My warning (2 cents) share trading can be sexy as heck when it's all going well but if it isn't it can lead you down to a horrible place. It feels amazing to see a trade gap up and wow, you made 20k overnight! but I can tell you from bitter exppperience that it is proportionally worse to see a trade gap down and wow, you've lost 100k overnight
