it doesnt matter what instrument you use to trade with ie cfd ssf warrants etc etc.
the thing you need to learn is how to trade the share ie when to buy when to sell.if you can master that,then you can trade ANYTHING.
it sounds very simple and it actually is,if you are a programmed robot.but you see we are not, we are human with a million billion emotions that always come into play when we dabble with money.
trading is 5% technical and 95 % emotion.
learn how to handle the emotion and you will be an excellent trader,once you have learnt when to buy sell based on technical.
and be very careful taking advice on this or any other forum.
i see someone passes a negative comment on a share based on their own view point and everyone is ready to close their positions.
good luck and remember to always have stops in place.
He summed it up nicely! I started last year withouth doing homework properly and using emotional impulse decisions to make purchases and sales.. needless to say I think I'm down net 20% - 30% just for being a idiot(not big money at this stage but still!), some of these guys on the forum know their stuff so have a read through some of these threads before you just jump in and buy shares..
If your a gambling man like myself try some of the better smallcaps, otherwise if it's your life savings etc rather stick with the big guys(Famous Brands, Woolworths etc)
