Petals Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I should as I have them but they go up they go down, if I could be bothered I should sell when they go down and take a tax loss and buy them back the next day that way I stay the same but get a tax deduction. I prefer them to property as if you look at them long term with all the ups and downs, more money is made on stocks than in property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag of convenience Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Better and easier than housing with only small amounts needed to make considerable sums. The rule is don't invest more than you can afford to part with. Made a good sum over the years and have considered doing it full time. I certainly don't limit myself to the Aussie market though and invested in European markets when low. Also allows bank accounts with ready funds in Euro zone when travelling there.

MARYROSE02 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I still have a couple of stocks left - ANZ and Woodside, having sold the rest for various reasons. I never look at the daily prices. Is it better to have money in the bank, or shares in the bank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
