I've got a few quid spare and am looking to have my 1st ever dabble into stocks and shares! How does a complete nebie like me go about it and does anyone have any do's and don'ts?
PS - Small stakes initially, the odd hundred quid here, grand there etc.

not worth buying shares if just doing £100s worth. It'll cost at least £15 per trade.
its also a sh1t time to buy. could be a big correction any day now imo. if you still wanna do it. Hargreaves-Lansdown are very good imo. |

Sign up to bullbearings.co.uk and etoro.com and have a play around there with the fantasy £100k first, then it will show you how much you would have lost and change your mind.

shouldnt use anything to do with Halifax until they stop making deliberately annoying adverts - if you go there then the marketers behing 'halifax breakfast show' have won! and there will be a sequel!

If you need advice regarding shares stay away from them.
But if you've got money to burn okay. Steer clear of small companies, trading those are for experts only. |
