The AUD v USD trend is showing a steadily rising AUD. https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=AUD&to=USD
You would be going against the herd to bet on it going down from now. It may happen, but nobody can say with certainty.
Livewiremarkets.com is a good source with varied contributors. It's kind of like a social media sites for investment professionals.
Read some books. The Intelligent Investor is a classic, The Most Important Thing Illuminated is a must-read, and Value.Able is good for an Australian perspective.
Further to strath39's ^ tomes, if you want even more simplified (simplistic?!) methods:
Buffettology and/or New Buffettology: (written by Warren's former daughter inlaw, and a family insider), written in everyday language, as opposed to The Intelligent Investor, or gasp!, Security Analysis.
The Little Book That Beats the Market: written in a logical style that caters to even kids. ie. I loved it. (NB. Am not a kid, just the maturity of one).
On like-for-like basis for comparison, I think this is the disclosure from Schwab.
https://www.schwab.com/public/file/P-1036363
It suggests Schwab FX fee/spread starts at 1.0% for under $100k, reducing by tier to 0.2% for amount over $1.0m.
Thanks. Are there examples of similar projects falling through in Madagascar? The company has a 40 year mining lease on the area of the deposit. I guess these things mean less however when a region is politically unstable.
They did mention the risk for the region in the presentation and had a graphic that apparently rates this area at a BBB which apparently means low-moderate risk (scale is AAA through to D). Know idea what the metric is based on however or who determines it but apparently, and I quote from the presentation "90% of graphite is produced from countries considered 'risker' than Madagascar".

dont be put off by the for dummies brand.
It works for me under chrome (linux), i dont have any plugins.
It doesnt work under firefox, but i have all sorts of plugins, noscript, privacy badger. HTTPS everywhere and ad-nauseum.
For me, i have to disable adnauseum to see the heat map, i also need asxcorrelations.com and plot.ly enabled in no-script (which is no surprise).
This. For free live market data, CommSec is the easiest way to do this. Most others will be 20mins delayed unless you pay money. Tradingview I find super useful for charting, TA but if you're day trading it's still 20mins delayed unless you pay money. I place my trades with Selfwealth.
I use wallmine.com, because it is very easy to navigate through and it offers modern stock screeners. In the past I also used Yahoo Finance, but I find this platform to be more user-friendly.
Hey,
I recently published an app that does just this.
Free to use & no login required.
Enter in your share codes, price and quantity and the app will do the rest.

C'mon Dad you can do better than that..
Give a man a fish you only feed him for one meal - teach him how to fish and he can feed himself for life..
In that vein - I'd give him a book called " Trade your way to Financial Freedom" by Dr Van Tharp....worth every penny....if you understand and execute it you could retire well before 40 years old even on an average salary.
fyi...it is dangerous advice to be a buy&hold stock investor....as evidenced by the recent March crash. Most B&H investors are still underwater....but if you read that book you would have sold on the way down and started buying on the bounce and be well ahead of everyone else.
Good luck.
