On One Percent Answers, host AJ Clores shares a clear, beginner friendly roadmap for getting started in the stock market in Australia, even if you are beginning with around 100 dollars. This step by step tutorial keeps things practical and hype free, showing how small, consistent deposits can stack up over time through diversification, dollar cost averaging, and a simple, repeatable plan.
AJ tailors everything to the Australian landscape. He covers choosing a local broker, understanding CHESS sponsorship versus custodian platforms, navigating common ASX first parcel minimums often around 500 dollars for a new holding, and smart ways to start small such as pooling a few deposits, using micro investing apps, or tapping brokers that support fractional US shares for global exposure. You will also hear plain English explanations of fees, automation, and risk basics like time horizon, diversification, and volatility, plus Australian tax essentials such as the capital gains discount after 12 months, franking credits, and why completing a W8BEN form can reduce US withholding on eligible dividends.
AJ speaks from real world experience. He has grown a stock portfolio to 600 thousand dollars, which contributes to his 3.1 million dollar net worth. His focus here is not hot tips. It is helping you build a straightforward system you can actually stick to, from your first small deposit to a portfolio you are proud of.
By the end, you will have a calm, confidence building plan that fits an Australian investor’s reality, one you can start today, refine over time, and let compounding do the heavy lifting.
