Share Alerts
Even the most dedicated DIY investor can’t watch the market every minute of the
day. So how do you stay in touch when you’re away from your desk?
CommSec Share Alerts – are sent straight to your mobile phone or
email inbox, CommSec Share Alerts help keep you informed, wherever you happen to
be.
Use a Price Alert to tell you instantly when a selected stock reaches a high or
low trigger price. Or use a Time Alert to monitor the price of a watchlist at the
time of day you choose.
Then, when you’re ready to trade, CommSec is only a phone call or a few mouse clicks
away.
I can do that
- The strategy.
-
Angela noticed Woolworths Limited has fallen to $26.35 per share. She decided that
the stock would be worth buying if it fell below $24.00. So she used CommSec Share
Alerts to tell her when it reached her target price.
- How she did it.
-
Angela created a Price Alert for Woolworths with a low trigger price of $24.00. Fifteen
days later she received an SMS Alert, letting her know that Woolworths had fallen to
her trigger price. She immediately called CommSec and placed an order for $1,000
worth of Woolworths shares.
- The result.
-
Angela’s order was executed at $23.97, before Woolworths recovered to close at
$24.00. Four months later, Woolworths was trading at around $29 a share, giving
Angela an unrealised capital gain of more than 20%.
