Introduction

Share trading is an art - or maybe a science - or is it the result of some mystical power?

TAKING STOCK

Gazing at the computer screen
Is the Internet investment scene.
In the eye are hopeful gleams
In rising stocks I'll earn my dreams.

Which one to choose, the choice is many.
Shall I buy some, or one, or any?
Uncertainty - too soon, too late.
My order's done and now I wait.

Excitement comes, I own a piece
Of Harvey Norman or Lend Lease.
The greatest company, and I'm proud
To be an owner, I'm on a cloud.

But what's this now? When next I face
The glowing screen, I've lost the race.
My shares have dropped, a downward graph
(It's very well for you to laugh)

It's all a game of win or loss.
I'll study still the pitch and toss.
Consult the sage for rise and fall
The "Mirror, Mirror on the wall"
