Newbie- L Plates on

Hello, I’m ashamed to admit in my 4th decade of life, I have always wanted to understand shared and never did. I am a property investor of over 2 decades and believe in diversity of both asset classes and within, except don’t practice it.. til now. I am learning with my 18yo, as I believe shares are great way for her to create her future wealth. So am dipping my toe in. Signed up on Micro and started with VDHG at $50 per week investment. Set up transaction number 1, she can then follow me exactly and as her confidence, experience with doing this and her income grows, she can add more $$$ per week. Is this a solid starting point? It feels comfy to work my way around. I trust the investment strategy for long term but just want to understand eventually how to trade, what to trade in and what are the tax implications etc. I will encourage her to save for other short term goals outside of this and set up as a automate and watch it grow over many years… Any extra advice or solid start to guide my 18yo ( and myself- let’s be real) 🤪
