    Fees are a pretty standard 0.1%, very slightly less than others unless you’re doing small trades. Not a patch on SelfWealths flat $9.50 fee.

    • argonbay on 06/11/2017 - 16:57

      Do SelfWealth charge any annual fees?

      • wfdTamar on 06/11/2017 - 17:52
        +6

        Not if you just use the site for trading. It really is a flat fee of $9.50 per trade regardless of volume. You buy trades up front (any quantity). Only if you want the Premium services (I don’t use them) does that cost $20 per month (no annual fee) I’ve saved tens of thousands in brokers fees compared to my previous Etrade as I trade large amounts of shares each time. Once you start trading large enough that you surpass your brokers basic fee and get into the 0.11% area, SelfWealth really starts paying off.

        • argonbay on 06/11/2017 - 19:06

          Great, currently with Etrade/ANZ and commission is 0.11%.

          How does trading platform compare to Etrade Pro?

        • lolcoaster on 06/11/2017 - 19:18

          @argonbay: No experience with Etrade pro but compared to Commsec: No live prices on your portfolio page, only live quotes (from Chi-X) on the order page. No stop losses or conditional trades. Can't trade without there being enough funds in the linked cash account.

        • wfdTamar on 06/11/2017 - 19:25

          @argonbay:
          Yes, it’s pretty basic. I just have Etrade open in one tab for watching, SelfWealth in another to place trades. Works well.

        • argonbay on 06/11/2017 - 20:00

          @wfdTamar: Thanks for advice. (inc lolcoaster)

      I second this. SelfWealth is the true OzBargainers broker for shares. You get what you pay for in that the features are very minimal but it has everything I need.

      With all things being equal, transaction fees are what eats into your profits so it makes sense to go with the most value for money broker.

          But you can buy tomorrow and sell tomorrow immediately after if you want to lock in your 10k points for $16 (buy + sell) + whatever minimal loss you make between the buy and sell price. Still a bit of effort involved in signing up though.

    • Hogg on 07/11/2017 - 10:52

      Yes, you can have holdings sponsored across multiple brokers. You can also transfer holdings from one broker to another. I've done that twice now each time I've discovered a better broker.

      Unless you need Commsec for a specific reason, as with most things from CBA, it's not value for money.

      NABtrade is better for international shares, although limited to the exchange that you can trade.

      As someone mentioned above, SelfWealth is the best value for money for Aussie shares. Minimal features that I don't need for flat fee of $9.50 per trade compared to Commsec's $20 min or % fee.

      • HeavenlyHammocks on 09/11/2017 - 18:53

        I buy shares through IG now, though in the past I used their CFDs. I made $5000 profit in a month, but it felt almost like blind luck that I didn't lose $5000 in the month instead. Actually, I was up $10k and my profit fell to $5k. I quit after I was dreaming about CFDs…it's stressful and risky. I did lots of research and statistics and modeling (backtesting with different indicators etc), but it still felt like luck.

        Simply: You search for the thing you want to buy like AUD:USD and select how many contracts you want to buy. Buy a small enough amount that you can't lose much (eg. a currency usually won't lose more than 1% in a day). After buying, it'll show in your Open Positions. You can sell from there to close your position.

  • Mentem on 06/11/2017 - 18:27

    If you have no idea what you are doing I would avoid. If you really want the 10,000 points. Open an account deposit $520, trade a buy $500 worth of stocks stock such as commbank, anz, Telstra etc.

    Then a couple of minutes later, sell all of that stock. You are going to loose, 2 x $8 plus the buy and sell margins. I would say about $10. If the price moves you will loose even more ( I have recommended a large blue chip to avoid any unnecessary volatility) you should expect this to cost you about $25 however you do have exposure to more risk.

    Again I you have no idea what you are doing I would avoid this.

        • realfancyman on 06/11/2017 - 21:17

          There are good financial advisors out there, and if you do want advice it is best to get it from these people, not someone with no credentials on Ozbargain. Or, the best way to invest is to make an educated decision based on your own research.

    • abc on 06/11/2017 - 19:38

      I'd say if you bought a "blue chip" share it's ok to just "forget about it" as the company is highly unlikely to go bust and you will end up collecting dividends along the way.

      By being "in the market" you will also gain knowledge. If you have no clue about any of this here is a fantastic place to start -> http://www.asx.com.au/education/get-the-basics.htm

    Does trading actually work? What is the minimum that you could lose to get 10k points.

    • realfancyman on 06/11/2017 - 19:24
      +2

      There is risk in shares, but not to the same degree as with gambling. The big banks are traditionally a solid share, so have a look at them. But make sure you do your own research to see if you are OK with the risk.

      • HeavenlyHammocks on 09/11/2017 - 19:00

        The big banks are in a high risk situation at the moment being so leveraged to a property bubble.

    • HeavenlyHammocks on 09/11/2017 - 18:59

      Quoting myself - "I buy shares through IG now, though in the past I used their CFDs. I made $5000 profit in a month, but it felt almost like blind luck that I didn't lose $5000 in the month instead. Actually, I was up $10k and my profit fell to $5k. I quit after I was dreaming about CFDs…it's stressful and risky. I did lots of research and statistics and modeling (programmatically backtesting with different indicators etc), but it still felt like luck."

      I've known lots of people to lose money to trading, and lots more losing money to overpriced 'training'.

      It's gambling in my eyes, with the banks/brokers the main winners. It's possible to be successful, but unlikely.

      The reason I still use IG for shares is to save on commissions. They charge me $8 per buy/sell instead of $20 with Commsec.

      This is going to make me seem like a SelfWealth shill but I really do believe they are the most value for money broker for Aussie stocks. Flat fee of $9.50 no matter trading size.

      I've used Commsec and Nabtrade, and for my purposes I don't miss any of the features at all.

      What I also don't miss are the extra fees eating into my profits.

      Don't forget to use an Ozbargain referral link for 10 free trades.

      PS I think Nabtrade is best for international but I could be wrong

      Well that should be enough for today. SelfWealth should really pay me for this.

          I was considering it just to support a "disrupter" of the big bank's high fees but I'm not sophisticated enough to evaluate SelfWealth as an investment haha.

          All I can tell is that they're currently loss making which is normal for start-ups but I can't tell if the price represents good value or not.

          I will just stay a happy customer.

    Already on IG. Nice find OP.

  • acAgenCy1 on 06/11/2017 - 20:11

    I think the safest shares to purchase are an LIC (Listed Investment Company), such as Argo ASX:ARG or WAM Leaders ASX:WLE. As they offer you a well diversified portfolio and thus an even lower risk than just buying a blue chip. Of course I advise to do your own research and the above stocks are examples only.

    • argonbay on 07/11/2017 - 00:28
      +1

      Be careful with WLE at the moment if you are thinking of a short term trade for the points.
      There could be a bunch of options converted at any moment and a sell off will follow driving the price down 2 or 3 cents.

      Not saying they are a bad share, I own them as a long term investment.

      • acAgenCy1 on 07/11/2017 - 10:34

        I own them as well. I think it's also possible with no options around the price will no longer be anchored to the 1.10 exercise price so could allow WLE to reach a 10-15% premium to NTA over the medium term provided they can maintain even a small out-performance to the all ordinaries accumulation index. So in my opinion the risk/reward ratio is very favoured for the stock.

        • abc on 07/11/2017 - 11:49

          You are paying a premium to NTA with those you mentioned however. Might be OK for the really old LIC's that "buy and hold" such as Argo and AFIC but the Wilson funds need to do really well in the short-med term to justify their premium.

          Then again WAM has a really good track record…

          @acAgenCy1:- WAM, WAX, WAA and WMI all trading at premium to NTA and it is likely that WLE will do so as well once the options have expired on 17th Nov. Until that time there may be some volatility as tranches of options are converted to shares and sold off.

          The has been a lot of comments on this thread about buying and selling a short time later, just saying that someone who does not know WLE might get caught by a sell off and may not be in a position to hold long term.

          @abc: Yes, Wilson shares seem a bit overpriced at the moment, probably not a good time to invest your house on them. But as you say WAM has a really good track record. Got some WAM in IPO, $1 at the time and dividends have been great. :-)

          @argonbay:

          I agree. I don't think this is a worthwhile "bargain" for a short term trade. It's not guaranteed to be worth your while.
