No offence mate but I really think you should consider if investing in the share market is right for you.

No offense taken James, I do have a tendency to be impulsive, which can get me into trouble, but I am learning heaps and although it may not seem like it I am getting better at investing and doing quite well with my other shares. That being said, you may be right and the share market may not be right for me, time will tell.

Stick with it.Keep reading,keep learning.I am still reading,and still learning. I have followed the sharemarket for 51 years.
Made every mistake you can make.Just when you think you know what you are doing, the market gives you a good kick in the back side!!
However the mistakes get fewer,and your capital gains momentum,and the divies keep on increasing.
It is called financial independence.Well worth the effort.
Look for companies that have the capacity to keep paying increasing dividends.

Ironic that Percy said the very same thing to me about 6 years ago, impulsive tick, never say die ,tick. I've made every mistake you could possibly make plus I reckon I've invented some new ones, yet I have also found some unorthodox ways of doing things which have worked in my favour. Like anything achieved in life, if you want to do well in the market, immerse yourself in it, study it's patterns, don't follow the herd if your conviction says otherwise, listen to your Gutometer. PS-I can see your progress over the last year or so.

Is it worth asking for Hallensteins to give us quarterly sales updates like Briscoes? Seems like a reasonable request?

SUM other companies also do this and AIR effectivly does it monthly !

I was reading something today about USA REIT's. Came across this

"Stay Away: Retail REITs

As an investment, I don’t like retail REITs. At all.

2017 was one of the worst years ever for retail store closures, easily smashing 2008’s record of 6,163 store closings. Here are some of last year’s members who joined the dubious triple-digit (100+) closure club:

Teavana (379 closed stores)
J.C. Penney (138)
Gymboree (350)
Ascena (268)
Michael Kors (100)
Payless (512)
Bebe (180)
Rue21 (400)
RadioShack (1000)"

I am still avoiding retail.
Take care.

I fail to see what Real Estate Investment Trusts have to do with HLG
