On that note then Ritchie..... could someone explain to me the tax implications 
of buying and selling shares. Do you have to pay tax on the profits from sales, 
regardless of the time that has passed since you acquired those shares.? Or, do 
you only pay tax on profits as a result of successful short term investing?

Any helpers would be greatly appreciated?

Here are some thoughts of mine in response to your posting Damian.
"Everyone is someone",
"No one is above anyone in an environment that is unpredictable",
"No one learns faster than someone who teaches",
"Simple questions make the investors who know, ( even a little ) feel  
valued, therefore YOU make them feel good that they can answer your 
questions because it is a nice feeling to help someone on a subject you are 
passionate about.

I hang out for a question simple enough for me to answer!
