Educational books / audio books

invalid@example.com (Luke83) — Tue, 01 May 2018 10:32:47 +0000

Wondering what books people have been using to educate themselves with? I recently joined audible and have been getting a finance book each month to listen too, wondering if anyone else has some favourites to recommend?

Books I have enjoyed and that have been shaping my views are:
Rich Dad Poor Dad
The Richest Man In Babylon
The Barefoot Investor
The millionaire next door
Reno Kings
And I have just started The Warren Buffet Way.

Anyone else have any suggestions for my future reading?

there are many share trading platforms like CMC, westpac, commsec etc what's the all rounder in terms of fees, interface etc that you like?

ASX long term investing report

invalid@example.com (BrisKat) — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 08:41:55 +0000

Hi all, I'm completely new here but hoping that I can contribute in a meaningful way over time.

One of the resources which I've found useful is the ASX Long-term Investing Report. I did a quick search, but could not see evidence that this had been posted before. http://www.asx.com.au/documents/research/russell-asx-long-term-investing-report-2016.pdf

I'd be keen to hear whether you agree with the 20 year figures that the report provides.

Here are a couple of the charts which may...

Question: is there any aggregation list including shares, managed funds, bonds, and etc?

invalid@example.com (blackbeam) — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 13:08:29 +0000

I'd like a website or web page which aggregates all the shares, funds, bonds, and etc, and their figures such as interest rate, yield rate, growth, and etc. So people can easily sort and compare in order to pick up the good ones to consider investing. Manually collecting data and feed them into the calculator is slow and inefficient, data is also changing everyday.

Does anyone have any idea if such things exist? Thanks.

Investing-related podcasts?

I am just starting to get into podcasts and am looking for any suggestions of what people have found interesting / informative.

So far I've subscribed to 'The SMSF Academy' and am enjoying that..... can anyone suggest any others? I am open to pretty much any topics related to investing - analysis / asset classes / superannuation / portfolio management / taxation etc.

I have an investment property and currently rent. I want to calculate the advantages of buying another IP over a PPR ie: tax deductions etc. + work out what we can afford now and projected outcomes for when we can buy the next one and the next one and so on... Thanks!

Tax brackets/rate - Excel Function

invalid@example.com (Property WA) — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 14:08:00 +0000

Do any of the excel whizz-bang forumites have an excel function to calculate tax using this years brackets? And that wouldn't mind me cutting and pasting just the function itself.

Doing up a spreedsheet (which is not easy given my lack of knowledge in the area) but need a way to calculate tax on an income rather than sitting there doing it manually.

Did a search but couldn't seem to find what I needed.

Thanks in advance.

How do you choose reliable newsletter or mentor to guide you for start up?

invalid@example.com (GoldHunt) — Fri, 27 Nov 2015 06:02:42 +0000

How do you choose reliable newsletter or mentor to guide you for start up?

I heard many traders and investors are saying 2015 has been one of the most frustrating years for them.
1. The first few months in the first half of the year was one of the quietest in several years as DOW were moving in big consolidation
2. Then a 18% correction caught everyone off guard
But, my members are very happy as they did well ? avoiding the panic decline of about 18% as predicted by me...

How to pick stocks

invalid@example.com (Naz_Melby) — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 03:11:31 +0000

Hello! I am new to investment & was wondering if you can suggest a single resource where I can find the data of the selected companies for the last 10 years?

The only way I can think of is reading the annual reports produced by each company over the last 10 years. There should an easier way of doing this, I believe.

Any thoughts/ideas will be much appreciated!

Hi guys Starksy here,

I've been encouraged to attend a seminar held by this particular group next week in Brisbane here, just wondering if any of you also plan on attending ?

They offer a 23%p.a ROI and security for the life of the contract which is either 3,6 or 12 months. I'm interested in buying out of my SMSF but this might could be a good opportunity for some extra cash flow for others.

Motivated Money - Peter Thornhill

invalid@example.com (Simon) — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 01:05:50 +0000

I should like to unreservedly recommend this book to everyone. Consider it a modern "Richest Man in Babylon" with a modern method for lifetime wealth building. Peter is a nice fellow and will answer emails willingly.

I am reading it for the second time since buying it last year online.

He maintains that yield is the true wealth builder and clearly demonstrates his rationale. The share price is merely a distraction to true asset builders.

I wish someone had given me this book 20 years...

Investment clubs

I've been trying to find information from official sources about how to start up an investment club, but am having no luck. Any links from blogs/websites to ASIC or ASX information are out of date. Searches on those sites return nothing relevant. Surely there must be some online information I can find?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much obliged.

Similar tools to Market Smith

I am new to investing, I have just finished reading the book, "how to make money with stocks" by William O'neil. The book teaches how to spot trends in stock through charts. The charting tool recomended by the author is Market Smith. However it is to expensive and I was wondering if there is anything similair out there, would be great if it had the black and red lines which show price closes for that week along the price line.

How do loyalty cards work? Barcodes, etc..

Hey there,

I've recently been thinking of an idea similar to a loyalty card concept, similar to flybuys, everyday rewards etc.. However, I'm having trouble finding out some info on how they work.

For example, you go into say.. Woolworths, buy $20 worth of stuff, scan your barcoded everyday rewards card, and no doubt Woolworths have that information on their system, to use as a database for what clients buy (i've read this during my research) .. But obviously, If you were to use the...

PMI - Decision Making Tool

invalid@example.com (Billv) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 09:47:08 +0000

PMI stands for 'Plus/Minus/Interesting' and is a good way of weighing the pros, cons and implications of a decision. When you have selected a course of action, it is important to check and judge if its the right decision.

To use the technique, draw up a table with three columns headed Plus, Minus and Interesting. Within the table write down all the positive points of following the course of action, all the negatives, and all the interesting implications and possible outcomes.
