Yeh does anyone actually know whether you are allowed to purchase shares if you're under 18?
Because my parents want to give me money for Christmas to invest (along with some of my savings) in shares. I find it really interesting and also want to have an investment property by the time I'm 22. Mmm it all sounds so exciting. lol

if u cant ur parents should be able to apply for an account, and u can trade under their name...
i thought about investing for a while, but now that labor's in charge and interest rate is set to go up, i'll sit this one out, the outlook = not so great...

Sure can. I invested back when I was in Grade 4 (my parent's impulse and, ultimately, under their guidance). I intend on purchasing an investment property when I'm 18/19. ;) Don't wanna be working all my life.

I would ideally like to purchase an investment property as soon as possible but the problem is getting the finance. So yeh. Might wait until after Uni
-
Same here. I'll have no money by the time I finish school as it will be spent on a car. That means the following year I'll have to save the money I earn.
-
Yeh. I've got a good stash saved up though =) and theres no way ill be spending all of it on car LOL
So yeh thats why I am looking at investing it into shares (with the money my parents are giving me for xmas). I've done some research and been following David Jones' shares for a few months, reading through reports and stuff. Seems like a pretty safe yet promising investment.
Anyone else have thoughts on the share market?

may i suggest a sub-prime mortgage :P
-
LOL. Sub-prime mortgage lolz.
-
Hmm I've always wanted to as well (purchase an investment property)... but i probably will in a few years ... not sure about the share market thing though, i think my parents own shares in a company of some sort not sure lol, or something similar but its overseas =) hehe
-
After uni? I'm going to invest straight after VCE :)
The asian market (including the ASX 200 and the S&P 500) has dipped quite rapidly these past few weeks due to subprime mortgage crisis and other US fears, including a possible US recession (too early to tell though). The big miners such as BHP billiton and Rio Tinto have also slumped, however, Rio's fall is less dramatic than BHP (due to possible takeover or asset acquisition by BHP Billiton and a Chinese company).
Thats my thoughts about the Australian Equities Market. Brendan, what do you think about CFDs (Equity CFDs)? It looks pretty lucrative with pretty good leverage and short-selling available (however, risky).
-
Mmm :( David Jones have gone up 20c since I told my mum to call up and buy them for me :(. She hasn't done it lol. They're sending some forms out or something.
-
mmm. But the Australian financial services sector is looking good. As the increased captial investment and low Subprime exposure that the banks possess, I think it'll make a strong investment for the future.
According to the stats, today the financial services has increased by 51.3 points. The S&P/ASX 200 Energy sector is extremely bullish today, it has 376.9 points, wow :D
-
Omg.
Now it's at $5.40 when I told my mum to buy it it was $5.13!
Now I am waiting for forms to come in the mail so I can start trading =(
Thats about 200 bux more for the same amount of shares I was looking at purchasing =(
Now I'm sad. That can buy me a whole lot of alcohol =(
-
I think you can open an account. I saw in the Investor by Financial Review that a Yr10 kid was in the Share Market Race or something.
-
Yeh but apparently because I am under 18 I have to fill some forms out and the shares will be paid for out of my account but will be owned by my parents or something... but once I turn 18 (in about 10 months) they will become mine.
-
There was this dude from my school a few years back (didnt know him) but he said to our Economics teacher; "I'm going to be a millionaire by the time I'm 25" ... Now, he's about 23 and he has 4 investment properties. It seems like thats the way to go when it comes to making money!
-
3. Your tenant is unreasonably annoying and asks for 100 different repairs to the house which you are bound by your contract to fulfill.
well on that one, you've got no one else to blame but yourself. you sign a contract, you are bound by it. don't like it, then don't sign it in the first place.
OMG whoops i clicked modify instead of quote ...sorry LOL
-
Also the area is vital when you choose investment properties. If speculating, the land may appreciate extremely slowly purely due to scarity and the building may dramatically depreciate. Therefore, it's vital to exactly the right land with scenic views, schools & shops nearby and others which will safeguard your capital against losses and earn a decent profit (on rent and sale) :)
-
LOL OMG WHO MODIFIED MY POST!!! LOL SO SAD THAT TOOK A WHILE TO TYPE UP =(
Its not the point that you signed the contract, I am saying, if you get a tenant for example who knows from the outset that the house they are renting is going to be demolished within the next year it would be reasonable to ask for repairs on anything that is needed, but not on 100 insignificant and non-essential repairs.
And I am just trying to make the point that property isnt necessarily 'the way to make money'

LOL applexy.
I would never have thought of your great little theory =P
You might revolutionise the property market with that mindset LOL im just messing with ya =P

Basically, they'll be put into a trust under your name with your parents as trustees.

Prav
I have to meet you in person someday, you seem to be in the minority of teens ahead of their time. I probably will end up hiring people like yourself to work with me =)
