Put simply I would be still driving tractors for someone else at $16/hr if it weren't for TNO members generously sharing their practical knowledge, friendly pointers and discipline techniques. If you don't think you will recoup the cost of a TNO membership in a short space of time by learning from some of these professional/part time traders then you aren't ready for taking risks in the market. It's a very friendly place to learn or sharpen your existing skills.

My trading has improved greatly and I believe the postings of the more experienced posters/traders has been the biggest benefit to me. Information and opinions expressed daily cannot be found in any book.

TNO... a reputation around the traps as a forum for serious traders/investors and with good reason! We have a huge pool of minds with many years of market experience making my 3 years look like a drop in the bucket. I would like to thank one and all and certainly the Boss who makes it all possible.
- AlphaPower (Western Australia)
I have turned a tidy profit from the site so far this month. Thanks. I think TNO is the best thing that happened since lace-up boot!
- JohnK (New South Wales)
The always generous sharing of knowledge on TNO has helped me more than any book I've read.
- Jenw (New South Wales)
In regards to the TNO subscription: I have no hesitation in paying at all, in reality it is a tiny fraction of the brokerage I pay each year and is well worth every cent - I would happily pay more.
- RTC2 (New South Wales)
I have seen a couple of other sites and there is just too much rubbish - time is the most valuable thing and I am not going to spend hours searching other chat sites. I do my analysis - post here when I can (as I also get ideas here and want to give back).

I'm browsing through Harvey Norman's catalogue this morning looking at wall to wall paper thin TVs, LCD monitors (bought two 17" ones partly paid for by my BGF trade) etc and at the back of my mind I'm thinking TNO. What a magic place TNO is. TNO has certainly improved my trading and investing and stopped me from disappearing in a puff of dust. What I'm really getting around to, is to say thank you to TNO members for your very valuable contributions and for the BOSS for making it possible.......crikey I'm getting tears in my eyes.

TNO is a valuable forum, not just in terms of the wealth of information provided by members, but the opportunity to make direct contact with members in a way that promotes mutual benefit, as well as benefit to other readers. The network of minds and souls that are involved is pretty powerful... Compared with the cost of access to many media sites, full of journalistic trash, I am confident that TNO will provide much better value for money.
- AlanK (Queensland)
You will find that TNO is totally different to most of the other investor forums. Most of the regulars here are serious traders with no time for nonsense, point scoring and posturing. It just doesn not happen here, so please feel free to to contribute whatever you can, safe in the knowledge that you will not be attacked, ridiculed or put down in any way, whether you are a brand new entrant to the market jungle, or not.
- fastoy (New South Wales)
I regard TNO as the best forum of this nature I have come across in this country.
- Gordon (New South Wales)
I have certainly been saved from making some huge (to me) financial losses, and instead, have discovered this world of business and finance that I love ...
- Maureen (Western Australia)
My membership has been paid for numerous times over both in currency from trading and in knowledge from what I've learnt here.
- Bjorn_Again (New South Wales)
From a newbie... TNO is much much better than i could have ever expected.(wish i had heard about it before) Thanks!
- shanti (New South Wales)
I have made it back many times over from what I have learnt here, certainly enough to cover my subs for a long time to come.
- Daves (Queensland)
As I have always said, TNO is the best.
- Zaitech (Queensland)
Ask yourself, if you never knew some of the techniques (mentioned here at TNO)... how much would that have cost you??
- Roobaron (New South Wales)
I have no doubt many people would elect not to pay, yet they will buy lots of books and journals at a higher cost and learn less.
- CountryLad (Queensland)
You'll find plenty of info on TNO that will speed up your development.
- eddievanhalen (Victoria)
I am sure that I have survived my first 2 years in full time trading, in no small part due to the knowledge gained, and lessons learnt, from reading almost every post on TNO in that time. There's definitely been more gems here than in any of the collection of trading books I have accumulated.
- alanmcg (Queensland)
It will be the best investment you ever make.
- Cyclops (Queensland)
Yes 6 months today I started my journey into trading. On another forum I was slammed for even considering it. Any way 4 months further down the track im happy to say ive made all that back plus im 25% up on my starting capital. Just wanted to share that with you guys and thank you heaps for all your help and advise along the way. TNO rox!
- GameBoy (Victoria)
TNO has also been a huge help to my trading over the years and I would like to thank Austin and all those that contribute. Sometimes, its as simple as getting to know a company, other times a confirmation of what you might be thinking or new idea.....just gotta say I love it. A couple of my trading buddies have just signed up and are equally impressed.
- Lorner (Queensland)
I have spent a few thousands of dollars on different courses but the return on investment, on my TNO subscription, has far out performed the rest.
- Nkosi (Queensland)
Thanks for that, here I thought I knew all about MPI and you come along and trump me. That post alone was worth the entry fee to TNO (to me anyway).
- Cyclops (Queensland)
The beauty of being a member here is that there are a lot of cluey people who are ready to share some of their advice which is worth more than the membership fee alone.
- Davidcl (Victoria)
TNO just get better and better... Thanks to everybody.
- Ade (Western Australia)
I have learnt an enormous amount from TNO.
- Craig (Queensland)
Cut down on ya smokes, or go and mow 4 lawns a year if you're starting out, and aren't making a quid out of it yet but it'll be the best investment you will ever make on a $ for $ basis against all other trading tools
- Marty (Queensland)
I am just getting started in trading and I don't really have enough knowledge yet to contribute to many of the incredibly in-depth posts. However I come and read the posts everyday and I would be more than prepared to pay for that right.
- Mike (Victoria)
I knew nothing of the stockmarket when I joined up, but I have learned heaps here, and have been inspired to keep learning.
- Maureen (Western Australia)
I couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered the wealth of information. I am happy to pay for such a fine service.
- saarnold (Victoria)
It was only pure chance that I found TNO. One very occassional poster on HotCopper mentioned TNO... the first time I had heard of it... and I had been on HC and SharesScenefor yonks...... Thus my relief when I joined and found out how good it was....but I often kick myself because I wasn't aware of its existence much sooner.
- shanti (New South Wales)
More than happy to pay to belong to this wonderful community.
- Alpamayo (New South Wales)
I'm sure the membership fee would be tax deductable. There is no question that this site would be more worthy of the money than the taxman so take it, it's yours.
- William (New South Wales)
I am delighted to be able to join this community as a paying member. I hate the idea of being a "lurker" ... makes me feel like a financial peeping tom ... I opened an online account in October this year and have been "testing the waters" with a small amount of capital. ... my best successes have come from "tips" from this forum.
- Annabel (New South Wales)
The best thing about TNO is that we can look and read until the newbie nerves subside and allow us to hit some keys and ask for help or post some news.
- Jenw (New South Wales)
One thing I would like to say about TNO is that I appreciate the community spirit. Here is a bunch of people who like what they are doing and like talking about it.
- djb (Queensland)
Be assured this site is not a big one for hot air and gossip.
- steve v (Victoria)
We all like getting things for nothing...but the info I get on here is worth a lot to me.. A big thanks to the Librarian...he alerted me to Keycorp... I am siting on a 50% profit after a day and a bit. One good piece of info on this site can pay a lotta bills...so the price of membership is negligible...
- burra008 (Queensland)
I have lurked in the late hours and recently renewed my subscription. I say thanks, as you are so generous with your efforts and I certainly appreciate all the time you spend helping us learners with your wisdom.
- evon (South Australia)
One of the problems with other sites was a lot of folk were giving advice about trading, but in reality --never, rarely or at best "paper traded. On this site you will find that the vast majority, if not all, are active traders, giving you PROVEN advice from being in the heat of the battle. If you are trading or seriously thinking about --Whats a hundred dollars in the scheme of things.
- fatboy (Queensland)
You never receive anything worth while for nothing. Cost is all relative. It's not how much you pay, but value for money. I feel this site is just that - value. TNO has taught me a great deal more than money could buy.
- Miss Bear (Queensland)
Love the site, speed of posting and the information provided!
- jaydee (Western Australia)
The TNO community is pretty special and the willingness of the experts to share their knowledge is greatly appreciated by all. TNO and what one learns here and the news and views we take out of it I know has proven invaluable to me and I am sure I speak for heaps of us here to say its not only educational, its interesting its fun and thanks for Austin for setting it up.
- wilson (Western Australia)
It never ceases to amaze me the depth, variety, quality and sincerity of people we have amongst our community.
