Was difficult to deal with themThe good thingsIf you are a passive investor, then CommSec is clearly not for you. It does not offer portfolio management or trade copy services.
It seems to me that the minimum CommSec deposit is unlikely to be pulled by a beginner. Of course, each person decides for himself how to manage his own funds. But I would recommend for novice traders to choose a broker that offers managed portfolios. With their help, you can protect yourself from complete collapse and at the same time learn how to trade stock market assets. BenArmstrong-trades have features to accommodate passive and beginners, my trading endeavors there are highly successful. CommSec does not provide such portfolio investments, so you have to trade on your own
