Ever wonder what your neighbour is buying and selling? Wonder no more ...

When it comes to investing, there is a degree of voyeurism involved. We’re all watching each other and playing Keeping Up with the Joneses.

What return are they getting? What stock did they just buy? And, perhaps the biggest driver of all this intrigue: "What do they know that I don't?"

Livewire tries to bring you as close to being a fly on the wall as we can. We take you inside the minds and war rooms of some of Australia’s most well-known and successful investors.

But that’s only one side of the equation. The other side is you. You’re taking in all this stimulus from Livewire (and perhaps, but unlikely, from other websites) and then actioning it in the real world.

Wouldn’t it be great to see what that action looks like?

Well, wonder no more. We have teamed up with Stake to deliver you what we hope will be regular insights into Australian investors' trading and investing patterns.

We plan to build out this series over time, so consider below an entree. If you like it, which we’re confident you will, we’ll bring you more insights and data that can help you understand what investors are doing and maybe even spark some ideas. 

Please note that all data below has kindly been provided by Stake. None of the companies or instruments noted below should be considered a recommendation. Please do your own research before considering any investment. Past return is not a reliable indicator of future return.
