Just want to get my hands in the world of buying shares and be a successful but need some ideas on abling to buy good shares. Also the challenges in the industry and how to see good companies that are growing with good promise of growth and profit.

Hmm looks like the others are quiet here. I'll jump in on the conservative side. In my opinion, if you don't know where to start, follow some of Warren Buffets advice:


Bascially, stick to index funds unless you're a pro. Some of the guys around here are and have made much more than the index, but over long periods of time the index beats almost everyone.

Investing on the share market is a bit like surfing on a board, sometimes you struggle to get out beyond the waves, but once you have the principle of surfing is to be ahead of the curve to win successfully  :LHST:

That is why I have over the years when asked for advice said "invest in the Indi while you learn". Chances are that you will stay with the Indi.
