CommSec Trading Tutorial: How to buy shares and ETFs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- I’ll show you how to buy and sell shares (ETFs, LICs, individual companies) on Commonwealth Bank’s CommSec platform. I’ll cover the sign up page, the CommSec Homepage, looking at specific shares, the trading page where you put your orders in to buy and sell shares and where you go to manage your orders. I’ll also briefly discuss brokerage rates. In this video I’ll go through the process of buying shares for AFIC (Australian Foundation Investment Company). I’ll also do a cheeky comparison of AFIC vs VAS (Vanguard’s Australian Shares).

@@SanjeeSen I am a beginner; any plans to do a video on the benefits of 'Buy Share Pack" from commsec.
Can’t thank you enough🙏🏽
Awesome information!
Thanks Myda!
Thanks so much - I find these videos by Sanjee so helpful. Thanks so much for making them easy to follow and understand.
Hi Sanjee, thanks for sharing very useful information, though i was wondering how do you put the stop loss or initial exit point where you just set up the stock price to follow through from your entry price, once it triggered the price you'd set up you will automatically out of the position with the profit/loss, in simple terms how do you manage your risk?
Hi Sanjee, thanks for the good advise. My neighbour says that you can fill up a column where it says to sell when the shares falls to X amount, please advise on that, as well as ‘how to sell?’
Thanks very much
so clear and simple, thank you. please do options video too.
Thanks Oana!
great thank you!
Outstanding explain thanks.just one question.
Where I can see live shares trading screen?
Really helpful video mate! But I have question, I want to do stock investment for long term let’s say for 10 years ahead, so what should I choose for the expiry date? Is it “good for day”?Or what is it? Thanks mate, appreciate it🥂, and what should I do if I made a mistake by choose wrong expiry date? Cheers
useful information thank you SANJEE
Thanks Beeki, glad you found it useful.
Thanks so much for this video. Do you have any videos or advice and how to invest small amounts of money each week or month?
Q. Capital gains tax/income vs how it will affect people who pay child maintenance if that makes sense..love the videos by the way I wish you all the best.
Hi Isaac, wow that's a great question. Ok I've got it on the list!
Wow thank you
Can you do a video like this on using the international account on CommSec and buying US shares? Will be helpful to also include any additional things to be aware of when investing in international stocks.
Hey Sanjee. Your videos are awesome. I started investing in ETF after looking at your videos. Can you please make some videos on S&P 500 ETF? Or recommend me the video if you have already done so. Thanks for your awesome work.
Hi Sanjee, thank you for this video. Really helps. I have a question, can we just buy a share for the total amount less than $500 on Commsec ? Thank you
Hi, thanks for the video. This may sound like a stupid question but how do I transfer money from my NAB account to my Commsec account? Do I have to transfer it to the linked commonwealth bank account first? And then over to commsec? I can't find this information anywhere
Hi Sanjee, can you please go over the Tab in the home screen, "Recommendations" and give me your assessment on the Goldman Search group?
Hi Sanjee, have you purchased any ETFs that don't sit on the ASX? If so, how has that been for you regarding the International tax requirements?
Thank you!!! Amazing tutorial. Could you pretty please do one comparing commsec and Self Wealth? Or have you already done one on Selfwealth premium
platform?
Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! Glad it helped
Hi Sanji, Thank you for this video. Question, does commsec international transaction charge you for subscription fee?
Thanks for the great information mate 👍.
I'm looking at investments of $1000 maybe 6x per year for the next 3 years until my home is paid off.
After that i will step up my investment to approximately $1000 per month. ( It can be monthly or a larger amount less frequently to avoid fees!).
Would you suggest pocker or consec?
Or can i transfer my pocket shares into consec at a later date without to many fees?
Hi. Could you please clarify this for me? So you execute your trade on Commsec. The purchased shares are now in your virtual possession, however, there is a 2-day delay on payment. So my question to you is Could those shares be sold on the same day even though you have not handed over a single cents for the shares?
one question is when im at my place order share screen (6:40), at the top it's showing two commsec shares account not my CDIA account, does it matter? thanks
HI Sanjee, this is great. Could you do a video on adding stop loss in commsec?
What are your views on the sharesies platform please? Significantly lower fees for smaller trades..
Hey Sanjee,
Thank you so much for your useful videos.
I live in Melbourne and slowely slowely try to learn trades.
Do u have any tools can help me with to learn when is the best price to buy?
Also, if you have a financial advisor can help me as well, some1 i can trust.
Appricate
God bless u🙏
Such a good video Sanjee! Really good info. Maybe I should do an in depth version for Nabtrade.. Quality content mate!
Thanks mate. Absolutely! Did you see the end card - I sent some your way for NAB
Sanjee Sen Oh thanks man! :D
Great Tutorial
when you sell on com sec how long does it generally take to settle for example can you buy in the morning sell in the afternoon and have the money or is there a waiting period ...
cheers
Hi LEXO, thanks for watching. It usually takes 2 days for the money to come through. I think in the situation you described you'll still need to wait for the 2 days for the money to come through. You should checkout these two articles buy CommSec where they explain it a bit more. Article on Settlement dates: www.commsec.com.au/support/frequently-asked-questions/344.html
Article on contra trades: www.commsec.com.au/support/frequently-asked-questions/22.html
Very helpful. But I was hoping for advice on selling as it’s an intricate process as well: thanks
Hi Curtis, great suggestion. I plan to do a video on it soon!
Sanjee, great post missing the food making videos...but what are your thoughts on Australian A-Reits given what's happening to commercial property throughout the pandemic??
Hey Joel! Mate how have you been?! Yeah I pivoted away from the cooking videos because it just wasn't sustainable really. I'm more interested in investing and personal finance so it made sense to pivot this way. Yeah I'll be honest I haven't really being paying attention to REITs other than generally through what's been happening to VAP. I mean I'm guessing they'll take some kind of hit because of recent events (office rents and retail rent). But whether corporate Australia is really going to start shutting down entire commercial spaces is probably unlikely to happen. I have been looking to gain a bit more exposure to that sector - but it'll probably be through VAP or a similar index because I'm not familiar enough to look at individual REITs. Feel free to buzz me on the mobile or 03 9016 0269 if you want to chat more :) So good to hear from you mate.
Hi , nice video. Please, how can I buy Tesla shares in commSec ?
Does Commsec have a demo set up anywhere? Im fresh on this but woukd like to 'fake' trade.
thanks mate
No worries Dave, hope it helped!
Clear and concise. You didn't leave out the details. Much appreciated. Now could you tell me which shares are "guaranteed" to make me money, please?
Thanks Hon. Haha what a great question. Well ETFs that follow the index are generally considered pretty reliable over a long period of time. Might be worth looking into those stocks.
@@SanjeeSen A man with money sense as well as a sense of humour. Good on you. Kind regards
Hey Sanjee, which company of share is worth to buy ?
Very great and helpful, i just wanted to know if we can trade us stocks on Commsec ?
Hi Jevin, glad you found it useful. I believe you can although I don't have any experience in it. Please check out the CommSec website here: www.commsec.com.au/products/international-share-trading.html
I mainly have exposure to the US through ETF stocks I have purchased through the ASX.
Hi Sanjee very useful for the beginner like me. I noticed while buy/sell on my account it shows brokerage and cost with including GST but i saw you got only Brokerage and excluding GST could you please elaborate more to me.
Thank you
Hi Ritu, my CommSec site now shows it including GST as well. CommSec must have updated their website since I did the video last year.
Hi Sanjee.
Great video and very easy to follow. I'm not sure if you can help me . I'm just about to start investing and the bank account or cdia is still a little confusing to me.
Do your dividend paid dollars or fully franked dividend dollars get paid into your cdia trading account ?
If so does the platform make it easy to print of or report at tax time for account.
And also does the cdia account act like a normal bank account so I can transfer from other banks or put money in at a branch. Could not find any info on there website that answer this.
Thanks in advance and love the videos !
Guy
Hi Guy great questions. No your dividends get paid to whatever account you setup with the share registry. You should check out my videos on "Setting up your dividends". In there I show you where to setup your bank account details in. Don't stress if you haven't set them up yet though...the money just get's held until you submit your details. Yes the CDIA account should act like a normal account you can do transfers to (it'll have a BSB and Account number). You'll end up using Netbank to do all the transfers.
I opened up a commsec account. I'm trying to transfer some share holdings to commsec acc but it won't accept. I'm wondering if the not having my middle name on some of the shares whilst my account has my middle name causes problems.
Can you buy multiple different shares at the same time/ under the one brokerage fee? Say if I want some AFI and VAS, or would that be 2 separate brokerage fees? Cheers
Hi Alex, great question. Unfortunately that would be 2 separate brokerage fees . Similarly if you bought say 100 shares in AFI today and then bought another 100 shares in AFI tomorrow, that would also be 2 separate brokerage fees. Hope that helps.
Love it Sanjee. You're a star.
Which broker would you recommend for investing on the ASX? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts regarding fees, execution, customer service etc.
Thanks Alex. Yes I’m thinking I should do a quick overview on brokers in Australia. Especially from a brokerage point of view.
Can you make a video about the ‘packs’ option on CommSec?
Certainly I'll add it to the list.
Hi, i am trying to buy my first share via CommSec. Now ... I get the following error 'order not accepted - deposit required' What do i do ? ... no video or tutorial covers what do be done in the Netbank account side before you start Commsec? I assume you have to transfer money into the CDIA account ... this correct? If so, i have done this and the money shown in the 'balance' but Zero dollars shown in 'available'. What should i do OR what is wrong?
very good video
what should i do for the price limit on the buy page
Hi Kate, this is the maximum amount you're willing to spend per share on your transaction. A good place to start is to consider what the latest price was when it last sold.
This was a very good presentation and i learnt a lot from it, however when i went to place an order it said the order could not be accepted due to minimum purchase required by CommSec, do you mind explaining this a little further please
Hi Isabelle, glad you liked the video. Yes CommSec has a minimum requirement of $500 for each purchase. So when you make a purchase, the total value of the shares needs to be $500 and more. This CommSec article should help: www.commsec.com.au/support/help-centre/placing-a-trade/minimum-shares-i-can-purchase.html#
Mate, can we order to buy shares of multiple companies? For example $200 worth of shares for one company and $300 worth of shares for another company = total $500.
Hi Sanjee Sen, I have been interested in writing call options and I haven't quite understood how the commsec option platform works - is it possible for you to go through the procedure using the commsec option platform as you have done with the buying of shares platform?
Hi George, I'll be honest, I actually don't know how to buy options on the CommSec platform. I'm more an individual shares, ETFs and bonds investor myself. If I do do a video about it I'll be sure to let you know...but I don't have anything planned in the medium term. I'd encourage you to checkout the CommSec site in the meantime: www.commsec.com.au/accounts/eto-options-account.html
@@SanjeeSen That's OK Sanjee, Like your work on shares.
You should have more subscribers. I suggest put up videos for people outside Australia too.
Thanks Electrohin - yes that's something I've been thinking about too recently. Thanks for the suggestion :)
@@SanjeeSen nice to see your RUclips growing mate. congrats!
hi Sen, I am from India. I used trade in Indian market (nifty and bank nifty options), I need information on broker with best app and less brokerage. which are the best indices (eg. nifty and banknifty) to trade options in Australian markets? What is minimum capital required to trade options?
Great video. Could you do a video on how to buy international shares on commsec please?
Hi mate, no worries I've put it on the list. I don't think it'll be coming anytime soon though. For now I'm quite happy to invest internationally through buying international ETFs which are listed on the ASX. You can check out my video on that here: ruclips.net/video/C2ooRx227Ew/видео.html
How do you transfer money into your commsec account
This is so simple mate, cheers. Only thing though is like how do you actually choose which specific company to invest in shares for?
Yeah that is the tricky one! There are some handy videos out there about "fundamental analysis" or "intrinsic analysis" of shares. Those might be a good start. Otherwise it really is a guessing game.
@@SanjeeSen Hey Sanjee thanks for these answers, i was wondering though, If i have potential (Not completely sure) plans to relocate to the US in the future (perhaps 6-10 years possibly 3-5 from now ) should i be investing in AUS etfs such as VAS OR A200 Or international etfs such as VDGH?Furthermore, should i be even investing in ETFS at this stage at all or go for something else?
My question is you were mentioning how to reduce brokerage fees, but I didn't find that video. Can you please share the strategies?
Hi yes great question. The video I did on brokerage can be found here: ruclips.net/video/PumIzzXdbHs/видео.html
The key thing is to try and find a "purchase price" for your parcel of shares that minimises how much the brokerage cost accounts for in the total transaction cost. Hope that helps.
