What are the potential pros and cons of using margin to boost ETF returns?

Would you be better off investing in gold ETFs or stocks, or is owning physical gold the smarter move? While we can't answer for you, we can give you some food for thought on the topic!

Is physically owning gold a good idea?

Is now a good time or a bad time to start investing?

I've currently invested in micro $75. It's always under that 🙄 so I've lost a small amount but it would be better sitting in a bank than investing in micro. I'm scared to go over $100. As the fees will kick in and then seriously go backwards. How is micro a good choice?  I don't get it I've had $75. Invested for 3 months now and it's sitting at $74. In the red . So I'm not going over the $100. As the fees will never be taken care of with positive cash I will be worse off. So correct me please how do you possibly make money on micro ?

Hi, I’m fairly new to investing and this is a dumb question but what is the difference when investing in the AU shares vs US shares tab? 
Is it that the AU shares are funds held by brokers in Aus and the US one is US brokers? Is there a better option for an Aus investor? What are the tax implications of investing in US EFTs over Aus ones? 
Thanks, Molly

AU vs US shares

I currently hold shares in various Australian ETFs including VDHG, NDQ, ETHI, etc. My question is whether I should also be investing in US ETFs such as VOO. If these ETFs are made up of mostly the same/similar companies, are there any other benefits in choosing to go with US and AUS ETFs? Thanks!
