I tried an EFT ACDC, which was going well but has dropped off a bit. I haven't got the time or patience to be day trading so just looking for dividends. Same story with Wesfarmers which is a bit disappointing.

Ill have to crank up a spreadsheet at some point to keep track of it.

RIO is doing OK so was thinking of putting some in another miner but may look at a different one instead of BHP.

Ive been told Whitehaven is not a bad option but I know how they operated Mauls and Narribri and stuffed if I know how they are making money..LOL

Plenty of apps out there where you can manage and monitor a portfolio. I use MSP (My Stocks Portfolio) on Android.

Regarding the market this year, I'm down YTD, but still up over 50% overall.

I'm keenly watching PYPL (Paypal), if it comes back down under $100 I'll be buying (missed it when it bottomed at $93, but it's also come off of a high of $300, which I think it'll get back to).

Nice, interested in how the app can track back when we bought and what has been paid out etc.

We are roughly even, or about 2% up but still better than sticking it in the bank.

I thought to grab some QANTAS when it was low as well with the thought that after the pandemic and people get going again it might bounce back better than the others...still not going well but perhaps another 2-3 years to regain then ill flick it.
