Tax reform and investing

Hi all, just wanted to get others thoughts on how the new tax reforms in Aus are going to affect the stock market, more so along the lines of capital gains. I day trade and have manged funds, day trading at my level, 100s to low thousands for buy/sells. Is it worth it anymore with the taxes?

Saw this floating around and figured I’d share because petrol prices are crazy right now and free money is free money 😂

ING are currently offering anyone who signs up before May 31st a $100 bonus. No catches other than doing a few easy things once your account’s open. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Use the following link to sign up - Link here
  2. Deposit $1000 (you can transfer out once you receive your $100 bonus)
  3. Make 5 purchases - Just use the card you get sent on your weekly shopping (split the transaction into 5 payments at checkout)
  4. Open a savings maximiser account and deposit $1 into it (you can do this straight away once you sign up they walk you through everything)

Then you just sit back and wait for ING to drop that $100 straight into your account. You can transfer it to your main bank, or spend it with the ING card, up to you.

Took me less than 10 minutes to do everything and it’s one of the easiest bonuses I’ve seen. Longest part is waiting for the card to arrive but once you have it you can just use it with your regular shopping for 1 week.

Launched my first ever SaaS yesterday and honestly have no idea what I'm doing with marketing.

I Built an niche financial tool for Australian investors called 'ETFLens' because I spent 3 years holding VAS and A200 thinking I was being smart. Turns out they're 99% the same fund. I was literally just paying two sets of fees for the same portfolio and had no idea. Couldn't find anything that showed me this in plain English so I just built it think it would help others with the same issue

Things that I have tried so far but not sure if this is the right direction, I have emailed Finance bloggers, setup a Product Hunt page and trying to promote on Reddit but they keep removing my posts lol.

here the websites if anyone is interested: etflens.com.au

So what actually worked for you when you first launched your product?

ASX Health Care is on track for a 4th straight month of declines. Is CSL under $100 the ultimate generational buy?

The ASX 200 health care sector remains under immense structural pressure, trading at levels we haven't seen since mid-2017. CSL lost another 2.5% last week to drop to a painful $98.15, while ResMed and Pro Medicus both slid heavily. Given the defensive nature of large-cap pharma and medical devices during inflationary cycles, why is the local market treating healthcare like toxic waste this quarter? If you have cash on the sidelines, are you systematically accumulating CSL under the $100 psychological floor, or is there a fundamental structural change to their margins that retail is missing?

Delete this if it's not allowed but I figured I'd share to help some people out who need some extra cash. I did a few of these sign up promos I found scattered around Reddit over the past week to get some extra cash sorted before a couple birthdays and they all paid out without issues. Thought I’d write them up properly and share, because I know a lot of people are trying to stretch their budget at the moment.

ING - $100

ING are currently offering $100 if you sign up before May 31. This one's the best offer to do if you have the money to take advantage of it. Here are the steps:

  1. Sign up using this link
  2. Deposit $1000 (you can transfer it back later)
  3. Make 5 card purchases (Split one grocery shop into 5 payments if you want)
  4. Open a Savings Maximiser and deposit $1

ING then sends $100 straight into your account. This one took me less than 10 minutes to set up. The longest part is waiting for the card and the transactions to settle.

MyPayNow - $47.33

This company offers pay advances without credit checks so it doesn't effect your credit rating. If the name sounds familiar you might have seen them on the Gold Coast Titans jerseys this season as they're one of their main sponsors.

Another ETF noobie seeking for advices

Hello Reddit - Aussie - Investors

I am fairly new to ETF investment, I am currnetly 42 and I am planning my retirement, and hopefully it is not too late at this stage.

I know super is the major part of the retirement fund for aussies, but I am worry about the current housing price and the inflation rate, I have noticed the living cost has increased significantly comparing to 10 years ago, that is why I want to plan for my retirement, with good quality of living and life.

I have bought some Tesla shares when it was worth around USD $300, I bought $5k AUD worth of the shares, now it is showing a good return but I am going to keep it for a bit, that is why I am looking at ETFs now.

As I am new to ETF investment, I understand this will be a long term investment, and I am planning to retire around the age of 60.

Since I am new, I have used Claude to give me suggestions/recommendations on the ETFs, and below are the list of ETFs and the % of split for the portfolio that I can aim for retirement

VDGH - 25%

VGS - 25%

NDQ - 20%

VHY - 20%

VTS - 10%

Any suggestions and recommendations are welcome, my goal is just to have some money (1-2k every month, if possible) add to the portfolio evey month and hopefull in the next 15 to 20 years time, the retirement fund can be enough for my retirement.

ARMR ETF. Anyone know why it's been getting absolutely slammed lately?

With the uncertainty surrounding the world, id thought it would be doing alright. Had a real strong passed 12 months or so, but last 3 months uts been bleeding, compared to alot of the other markets.

Worth holding onto?

Cheers

$105M for AI-driven approvals, any small-cap tech/consulting plays here?

The Budget included a specific $105.9 million carve-out for a new AI tool to "slash red tape" in environmental assessments. Usually, this means government contracts for tech providers or specialized environmental consulting firms. Does anyone know which ASX-listed players are already in this "Gov-Tech" space?

Is 4DX worth investing in?

When researching what they do it seems promising but they really don’t make much profit, stock prices are low right now. I understand it’s a speculative stock but is it still worth putting $500 in to it?
