firstly, if you are new to shares .. leave all derivatives including warrants along for at least a couple of years .. trade straight shares .. then when you are making consistant market beating profits for at least a year, check the education at www.warrants.co.za and on this website under help and education and attend the courses we run ..

Or simply do like everyone else tends to do. Ignore all the BEST and free advise, especially that from Simon (The warrant GURU) and put lots of ymur money down on a warrant and pray everyday you di the right thing.

But seriously take Simons advise. You WILL LOOSE your money unless you know how to trade these products.

Download the online course and learn that backwards then paper trade for at least six months. Paper trading I hope you know how it works?

I started trading in Dec/Jan and have done very nicely on shares (portfolio up 5%-10% per month). Started on Warrants in May/June (mainly to go short) and lost 5% of portfolio in 6 weeks. If you still decide to give it a go, two things I learned: Don't try and trade against the trend. NEVER go on holiday with an open Warrants position - that pleasant little trip to the Eastern Free State ends up costing the same as a trip to Paris...

Dis maar die beste om eers gewone aandele te verhandel. Lees soveel as wat jy kan oor aandele en "warrants". Baie van die beginsels is dieselfde. Is nou n jaar besig net met aandele op hierdie forum. Lees gereeld ouer forumlede se kommentaar. Probeer gerus "trade your way to financial Freedom" lees. Probeer ook babypips.com.
