What types of ASX announcements should investors pay attention to?
And sometimes if the ETF or the share significantly moves in one day, it's often because an ASX announcement of something has happened. Maybe a distribution has been paid today. Maybe the company announced a new major contract. And so the first port of call often, if something major happens, is to look at the company's ASX announcements. And so if you're on the trade on your phone right now, you can head to the asx.com.au website, type in any company stock code and scroll down and you'll see the ASX announcement section. So then as you go through, as we talk about different ASX announcements today, you can have a look about what we're talking about in real life.
Yep, so that's the kind of centralized area and we'll get to why that is what it is in just a moment. But you can also access the news and announcements by your companies. Typically in your broker, there's like a news or announcements tab once you find the company or ETF that you're looking for. Many websites also provide these like Market Index, The Motley Fool, Stocklight and a few other websites provide this type of information. Specifically today, we're talking about ASX announcements. So this is if you own Telstra, if you own the VAS ETF, anything that's got the ASX before its ticket symbol. If you are invested in say Apple or you're invested in Google or Microsoft or one of those US companies, there's a different set of announcements for them because they're regulated in a different way.
