That way, there is always enough employment on offer to keep fixing it. ...I make my money by asking women out for a date or even sex, if I'm game. They always pay me $10 to $50 to just F-orrrfff! It's a far better return than dabbling in shares.

I've recently started investing in shares. So far I have shares in the following companies:

Telstra
Lynas
G8 Education
Thorn Group

Is anyone else having a punt?

Well, good luck with those FD!
Telstra is certainly going to need lots of it - LUCK THAT IS!?

Telstra is Down a further 2% ($0.055) again today, at $2.665!
Which is "a little Lower", than its peak of $6.61 in February, 2015!
AND, the major "influencing Factors", would suggest that "FUTURE SHARES, ARE SET TO GO LOWER,
not higher!

I agree
Don't make the mistake of selling them now.

A few years ago my BHP shares dropped below $20. In fact at one stage were around $15 in 2015. Now they are above $30 again

BHP and Telstra are not comparable.

There is conceivably nothing on the horizon to lift their price.

Everyone had a buy on BHP below 20.

Telstra's share price hit a new low today. $2.68.

They were issued in 1999 for $7.73
and I remember people borrowing money to buy them.

And how many super funds have got a large share holding of these shares ?

I bet most of them do.

It's not that hard to find one that outperforms the share market, even when you take the cost of all the government regulation controlling superannuation into account (which is close to 1% pa of the balance).

I reckon Telstra is a dud deal it would be like flushing money down the toilet.

It's only partially privatised it never works well for shareholders with situations like that.

For example if you search for "NAB share price". It shows you the current/latest price, with a 20 minute delay. It also shows the PE ratio and yield, but that is based on the previous close price. So the two sets of numbers are inconsistent.

There's loads of data on CommSec, however, I'm supposing that you need to trade through them to gain access.

I had a quick look at AOG divs and could only see the past 4 years. Only paid once/year and unfranked.

Might start trading through them also. IG only keeps your bids open for one day, which is a bit of a pain. I found downloadable data on AFR, including dividends etc. I think I got my AOG shares a few days before the ex div date, and they went up the day after.

I really feel like a fish out of water trading shares. I got a bit lucky buying at the right time when bank shares were at a low. I got cold feet and sold my JB shares at $22.60 after a high of nearly $29. I think they're a bit higher than $22.60 now. I'm happy with the massive profit they gave me but I must also take the franked dividends into account and what they mean to me in my current situation.

There's a lot of thinking involved. I need a little more guidance.
