A web user asks, I live in Australia and would like to start buying and selling shares; preferably online if possible as this is more convenient for me. Is there anything I need to do or are there any prerequisites before I can start? I know planning and picking the right company to buy into along with selling at the right time are both important but what else do I need to know?
Recommendations for resources and information (relevant to Australia) would be greatly appreciated.

Can you help them out. Post your advice!
