How to buy stocks in the Australian stock market

March 7, 2021 by Reporter Leave a Comment

stock market crash with covid and stock picks recovery

The current stock market is in turmoil with a lot of volatility in share prices here in Australia, however there is a growing number of people who think getting in now could be profitable for them in the long term. So how do you get into the stock market ? How do you buy shares to take advantage of the current stock market tumble.

There are two different ways that you can get into the stock market  and buy and sell shares

1. Sign up with bank share trading account that allows you to buy and sells shares

2. Sign up with a stock broker that specifically allows you to buy and sell shares.

There are other ways to buy shares like buying a bunch of blue-chip stocks or buying an ETF (which is also buying a bunch of shares) – but we will come to that later.

Banks as a stock trading buy and sell platform

Most big banks allow you to sign up with them for a stock trading account so that you can buy and sell shares. If you are already signed up with one of them, just enquire with them. Here is a list of banks that facilitate stock trading

1. Commonwealth bank ( Comsec – their share trading platform)

comsec trading australia

2. National Australia Bank ( Nabtrade – their share trading platform)

nabtrade

Below we give you further details about brokerage fees these bank charge and also prices for some popular dedicated share trading platforms.

How much money do I need to start trading the stock market?

Technically, there’s no minimum amount of money needed to start investing in stocks. But you probably need at least $500 — $2,000 to really get started right.

How do I make money in the stock market?

There are many ways to make money in the stock market, however the most simple method to understand this is when you buy a share today that cost you $500 , but its worth tomorrow is $600 and so you sold it – then you just made $100

To break that into much more realistic detail and give you an example

Eg. Say you got $500 to invest

Westpac bank shares are $15 each today, so you bought 32 Westpac shares

32 Westpac shares X $15= $480 + (add $10 bank fees for buying)

Total cost is $490 to buy the shares

Three days later (or six months later), there is a bit of recovery and Westpac share price rises and is $20 each share.

You had bought $32 shares earlier; you sell it today for $20 (that’s a $5 increase in the share price)

32 shares x $20 =$640 – $10 bank fees

You have $630 from your sell

Sell price $630 – Bought price $490 = Your profit $140

The bank does not charge you anything for holding the shares, but charge you for each buy and sell, which bring us to our next point -broker fees.

Now say if that investment was $5000 instead of $500 your profit could be $740 in one trade

How much does it cost me to buy and sell shares?

stocks to check

Every broker and every bank have different set of prices for buying and selling shares. It really comes down to ease of use, broker fees and availability of stocks to trade on each platform. Here is short comparison of some top bank and broker fees

Share trading fees – Banks

Commonwealth Bank – Comsec Fees:

For shares under $1000 in value – $10 each transaction

For trades between $1,000 and $10,000 – $19.95 each transaction

This is called the brokerage fee

Website https://www.commsec.com.au/support/rates-and-fees.html

National Australia Bank – Nabtrade Fees:

Up to and including $5,000 – $14.95 each transaction

From trades between $5,000.01 – $20,000 – $19.95 each transaction

Website https://www.nabtrade.com.au/investor/pricing

Share trading fees – Brokers

Two popular brokers apart from Banks are Self wealth and Ig markets. They both allow trading in Australian stocks as well as international stocks and CFD.

Self-wealth trading fees:

Brokerage fee for every trade, regardless of size – flat $9.50 (Only Australian Shares)

self wealth trading

Website https://www.selfwealth.com.au/online-trading/

 

IG markets Trading fees:

Trading Australian shares – $8 per trade or 0.1% whichever is higher

For US markets – US$10, or 2 cents per share

ig markets australia

Website:https://www.ig.com/au/charges

With IG markets you can do Australian and US stock market trading and also trade in CFD’s for which you have to sign up separately with them.

Other share trading platforms worth mentioning are ANZ share trading, Bell Direct and CMC markets.

Other new low brokerage share trading platforms introduced lately   is superhero, Raiz & Comsec pocket.

Most banks and stock trading brokers provide additional data and tools for company and stock analysis, creating watchlists, setting price alerts, creating specific set price buys and more. Features offered can differ from platform to platform.

With Comsec and Self wealth – All trades are CHESS sponsored

There are two ways for shares to be held:

CHESS Sponsored Shares – Shares that are registered with a stock broker (CommSec or another broker). CHESS Sponsored Shares are allocated a Holder Identification Number (HIN) by the broker.

Issuer Sponsored Shares – Shares that are managed by the issuer of those shares via the issuer’s Share Registry. Issuer Sponsored Shares can be traded through any broker, providing conditions set out by that broker are met. Issuer Sponsored Shares are allocated a Security Reference Number (SRN).

In reality it does not make much difference to your trading profit, if it is chess sponsored or issuer sponsored.

Risky Stock Trading with penny stocks

There is a difference between big companies and small companies (smallcaps) and with small companies come more risk in comparison with blue chip stocks like BHP, Westpac.

Some traders can get lucky and pick a small company stock that can become a winner.

Take for example FMG – Fortescue Metals Group (iron ore miner)

This stock was once trading for between $2 and $3 – Today the price is $10

Say you dropped $5000 when it was $2, so you got 2500 shares of FMG

You sold it when it reached $10 today x 2500 shares=$25,000

You just made $25,000 from $5,000, however this is very rare- though people have gotten lucky with their stock picks and made money.

FMG was once a small cap with lot of debt and considered risky, but now they have paid up their debts and are considered much safer than they were before.

ETF’s

Another popular method of buying into shares right now is called ETF’s . With buying an ETF you have options like buying into a group of shares  where you can also invest by putting money in a regular basis  as low as $50 a month/week. Some providers/brokers also allow you to invest  in ASX 50 or a lumpsum into a group of blue chip stocks.

ETF’s are available through bank trading platforms

Learning how to trade the stock markets is essential, before you decide to have a punt on your hard-earned money.

The stock market can make you money, but it can also take your money and put you at a loss. Doing dummy trading, joining stock trading groups and researching companies for three to six months is a good idea before jumping right in. Good luck!

Controlling your emotion is the hardest task when you are a trader. In this article, we are going to talk about the ways how you may able to control your emotions.

The ups and down

Think out the first day when you ride on a rollercoaster and how was the feeling that time. We know it was scary so you can consider the trading market like riding a rollercoaster because you do not know when and where the next turn can take. So when you are in the trading industry you must have to be able to deal with losing as well as winning and sometime it may occur within few seconds and this is the hardest part to keep your mind focused no matter how well or worst the situation is. To become a winning trader in Australia, you must need to take this type of pressure very easily and without this, you cannot go far just with the best trading strategy in the world. So your first step of becoming a winning trader has to be mastering your own emotions so that it can’t control your decisions.

This will also help you to control your rollercoaster trading life.

So once you get to know these things it will help you to find your own lacking and you may work on them and which will help you to boost your trading career.

Losing money is natural

You will not find any trader in the world who has a 100% winning rate in trading and so you have to understand that losing money is ok here and it is not a bad thing. You cannot avoid it no matter how good you do your analysis and how good is your knowledge you will lose now and then in this market. But the key thing that you have to do when you are losing is that you need to find out the reason you lose and work on them so that it will not repeat. Keep in mind that even if you are winning 55% of your trades then you are doing just fine and you don’t need to be tensed.

People often get emotional no matter he is earning money or losing money and earning money can make you overconfident and losing money can make your confidence level very low. So you need to control your emotion and don’t let emotion control you.

Keep emotions at bay in trading

August 17, 2020 by Reporter Leave a Comment

photo-1563986768711-b3bde3dc821e 60 reduced

It is very common for beginners to get emotional during their trading sessions. As it is the largest financial center in the world, the expectation to strike reach overnight is very intense among the investors. As a result, they will try to implement techniques that are not only harmful but incredibly rewarding as well. Only 5% of the investors make it out of currency trading but the rest loses their capital. Many flaws can contribute to this outcome but the majority of failures occur due to not being able to manage the emotions correctly. Even if the methods are correctly followed, without a proper emotional management process there is no way to make consistent profit in the long run.

From experts to beginners, all of them have to go through the same difficulties. In this article, we are going to elaborate on some techniques that will help the nervous to check their emotions and also undertake meaningful strategies that will help them to make a profit. We expect our readers will understand some basic tricks that will help them to better confirm their emotions even during the financial crisis.

Mentally prepare for losses

We cannot emphasize enough how much important is the mindset of investors. Even if the trend is appearing in a favorable direction, a smart person will always have some backup plan that will be executed in case something goes wrong. It is incredibly difficult to forecast where the price will stop let alone resuming the future result. To minimize the losses as much as possible it is highly advised to prepare mentally before every trade so that it does not have a mental shock. There are various benefits of this strategy. The first is, you will not be shocked if the order is not executed S plant. This will keep the nerves cool and you will be better prepared for the next order.

The second advantage is there will be no hasty decisions made by the people. It is commonly found that people begin to lose money as soon as they have lost the initial trade. Every attempt to recoup the forgone investment results in failure.

Ability to endure losses

Without having the strong ability to endure losses, it will be hard to become skilled at trading. Most people will lose money and struggle hard to improve. When you become skilled at analyzing the market dynamics and accept the losses, the growth of your trading accounts balance will be exponential. Before you start taking the trades, spend some time in the paper trading account and you will be able to boost up the trading performance. Forget about the quick money-making tips so that you don’t have to wait for big profits. Execute smart orders to improve your skills like a professional trader.

Never act in the spur of the moment

This is an inevitable role that must not be broken. No matter the outcome, make sure there are no inconsistent techniques that are being implemented immediately. Human beings begin to lose their concentration whenever there is an unprecedented outcome. The industry knows it better therefore some scammers are trying to convince people to buy some crap formulas that are supposed to help them to make their dream come true. Imagine if a person has lost $10, it would be logical for him to invest $2 for an amazing eBook that will shed light on techniques used by the professionals. This example of an individual who is lost in his thoughts.

In every situation, try to stay calm and think of a solution rather than complicating the circumstances. Take a small break after every trade whether the result is a profitable outcome or financial fail as it will help to clear the mind. This is a long-term business where the right action can determine the outcome.

Passive Perfection – The 5 Passive Income Streams With The Best Returns

February 6, 2020 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Working smarter, not harder, is the mantra of the day. People are no longer willing to spend most of their lives at work. We want our jobs to enrich our lives and fund our personal pursuits. Now more than ever, we want to spend our time in a fulfilling work environment with minimal stress. Below are some ways that you can invest in passive income sources so that even while you are sleeping, you can be making money.

  1. Real estate

Have you considered investing in property but been put off by the idea of all the hassles involved in renting out a house? The good news is that you can generate passive income from real estate by investing in commercial property management. In this type of arrangement, you can reap the rewards without too much initial effort.

Many people decide that they want to be a silent partner in this type of venture because all it requires is that you invest some initial capital. If, however, you want to take a more active role, you can choose to take on the property management yourself. Either way, by owning property and leasing it out, you can earn a significant amount of extra income.

  1. The stock market

Another way to earn passive income with an initial startup cost is through dividend-paying stocks, EFTs, and other investments such as lending clubs. These types of investments can help you earn money around the clock with no work on your end. It does take time to build up a strong and legitimate portfolio, but with the proper guidance from a reputable investment firm, you can be sure that your dividend investments will pay off.

  1. Affiliate marketing

If you are a heavy internet user (like most of us), then there are several ways you can leverage your online presence to create passive income for yourself. Affiliate marketing is an income idea that requires you to have one or more platforms on which you can promote products for other companies. This works extremely well on social media platforms within your local community where you can see what people are after and provide affiliate links that help them while earning you a commission. When someone uses the promotion link on your site or post to buy from another company, you get paid.

  1. Website ads

In conjunction with affiliate marketing, you can also leverage your internet space by displaying ads on your website. Again, this does require you to set up a site, but the more visibility you can create, the more money goes straight into your pocket. This can be so profitable that it’s often called owning online property. Advertisers pay to display ads on your site, and you get paid simply for attracting traffic. How easy is that?

  1. CPC ads

The final way to leverage your online property is to go with cost per clicks (CPC) ads. Unlike affiliate marketing and display ads, you get paid every time someone views or clicks on an ad versus only when someone buys something after clicking on the ad. You can make money simply by driving traffic to your website and letting the adverts sell themselves.

Whether you choose one or all of these methods to generate passive income, you can earn a significant amount of money by investing in ideas that will help you down the road. You may not see an immediate influx of funds into your bank account, but hold out for the long haul, and you’ll eventually be able to live without working.

Failing to predict 2015’s financial stories

April 20, 2015 by Reporter Leave a Comment

By Patrick Foot, financial markets writer at IG

For a year still in its infancy, 2015 has seen a lot of action across global financial markets thus far.

forex trading  vs investment in australia

So much so, that many of the blockbuster stories at the end of last year – some of them still ongoing – have to an extent been overshadowed. The Russian rouble has continued to toil – Standard & Poor’s recently cut Russian debt to ‘junk’ status. Oil shows no sign of returning to strength anytime soon.

Perhaps the most notable feature of 2015 so far has been the unpredictable nature of market volatility. The status quo that many were predicting for the next 12 months is already being pulled seriously into question.

In the USA, another strong non-farm payrolls figure kicked off the year much as many were expecting. 252,000 jobs were added in December, against an anticipated 240,000. Unemployment fell faster than economists were estimating and with the previous figure being rounded up considerably, the US dollar went on the rise again. In the US, at least, the world had a leading light that wouldn’t fail.

Then came a durable goods figure that was stunningly off the pace, as orders declined 3.4% when the markets were expecting a narrow increase. Previous figures were also revised down amidst a substantial refresh of America’s economic outlook. As Chris Beauchamp, analyst at forex trading platform IG, noted: ‘The World Bank’s warning from just two weeks ago looks very prescient now, as a hitherto strong performance from the US begins to weaken. The world can ill afford Uncle Sam catching a cold.’

The bad news was only compounded by an earnings season that was seeing major companies miss expectations with alarming regularity. Microsoft and Caterpillar announced earnings either side of the durable goods report, with both companies missing the mark on several key figures.

Apple’s amazing iPhone sales aside, US earnings pointed to several major weaknesses in the US economy. All told, the US’s biggest three banks missed revenue expectations by a collective $3.19 billion.

But the biggest shock to the markets came not from the US but from Switzerland. The Swiss currency crisis caught the markets unawares, and sent shockwaves through equities, currencies and commodities. Its effect was such that it is still extremely difficult to pick apart exactly how a suddenly-valuable Swiss franc will play out across global economies.

The Swiss franc had been pegged to €0.83 since September 2011, and the Swiss National Bank had shown little regard towards scrapping the peg. Despite many noting since how damaging artificially holding a currency pair’s value can be – by 2014, Swiss currency holdings were equivalent to around 75% of GDP, and were on the rise – a drastic move from a famously conservative central bank was predicted by no one. As many have pointed out, the problems associated with pegging currencies may not have even applied to the Swiss franc against the euro.

However, the problems of suddenly unpegging currencies are now well known, as traders found out on January 15. The Swiss franc suddenly returned to its former high valuation, instigating one of the biggest moves in a major currency ever seen. Swiss business, banks around the world, and financial traders all lost millions.

If anything, the first few weeks of 2015 demonstrated that predicting the next 12 months of financial movements is a task beyond human comprehension. Whatever the rest of the year brings, though, it looks set to be a rocky ride.

Advantages of Access Anywhere Investment Software

October 13, 2013 by Reporter Leave a Comment

When you are looking to build the most “successful investment portfolio” via a systematic approach, you will have many factors to consider, as well as actions to take.

trading analysis forex signals

You will need to determine your investment strategy, for example, considering whether you are a conservative or aggressive investor, while your asset allocation will also need to be figured out. Your asset baskets will then need to be filled with specific investments, with portfolio rebalancing also needing to be done periodically.

Clearly, it’s understandable that individuals managing such a portfolio – whether they are high net worth investors, stockbrokers, IFAs or fund managers, to name just some possibilities – would decide to make use of suitable investment management software incorporating a wide range of functionalities to make their lives easier.

Such functionalities could include everything from comprehensive reporting encompassing transaction, valuation, contribution and regulatory data to portfolio modelling and rebalancing consisting of strategic/dynamic modelling and blended modelling/asset allocation. But what is access anywhere investment management software, and why should wealth managers choose it?

Explaining ‘access anywhere’ investment software

 

In today’s world, the traditional ‘9 to 5’ is collapsing, with more and more individuals working from home and/or in all manner of remote environments. The top finance staff of major corporations, CFOs and MDs, CEOs involved in finance issues, IFAs, stockbrokers and high net worth investors alike are spending an ever-decreasing proportion of time chained to their desk in the same office, instead being constantly ‘on the go’.

This trend of an increasingly mobile, remote working corporate world has coincided with the rise of ‘cloud computing’, with more and more functionalities and technologies that might have once involved the installation of software on one local device now being delivered ‘as a service’ over the web.

The world of investment management software has not been immune to this trend, with the leading software solutions offering full interface functionality either via web services, or involving the importing of files from multiple locations.

Web based software of any kind allows its users to access it from any location in the world with an Internet connection, and from any device that is capable of the same, which is why a tablet friendly portal is another priority for many of those considering investment management software. This is why the terms ‘access anywhere software’ and ‘web based software’ are largely synonymous.

Why should you prefer access anywhere investment software?

 

Access anywhere investment software is used over the Internet with a web browser, with no CDs needing to be installed, or software downloaded. Nor is the client required to leave space on their own systems for upgrades, or even think about them – instead, the company behind the software can be entrusted with evolving it in line with a changing business landscape, meaning that the client always benefits from the most up-to-date version.

Users of access anywhere investment software don’t need to take the software with them in any form for their constant foreign business trips, as the data is centralised, being available over the Internet from any computer, at any time. Clients can access information about their investments and get to work on the management of their portfolio from anywhere, also not needing to worry about the theft, damage or loss of data.

Traditional software, after all, involves data being saved in all manner of locations, from USB drives and laptops to portable hard drives. Particularly as far as such a sensitive matter as one’s investment portfolio is concerned, it is a considerable reassurance to have that data securely stored on the most up-to-date, state of the art enterprise-class servers. It makes the latest backups and security patches and updates for one’s own devices just slightly less critical, which is invaluable, given how often they are also completely forgotten.

If you are looking to manage your investment portfolio, in a 21st century corporate environment, you will want to be able to quickly access the full range of investment management software functionalities, encompassing order management, real time performance measurement, client relationship management and more, in a truly fuss-free and efficient manner.

You are not likely to want to get bogged down with technical requirements. Instead, you’ll want to be able to leave such responsibilities to the directors, project managers, technology developers and business analysts who conceived the software and are therefore best-placed to incrementally modify it in line with the current business landscape and the common needs of clients.

The right access anywhere investment software gives you precisely this convenience and peace of mind, allowing for your focus to remain firmly on your investments.
