Starting Out In Stocks And Shares

[BobbyBobBob]

I would like to start dealing in the stock market but don't have the first clue on how to be successful. Is it something I could read up on and learn hints and tips and take it from there?

How much money would I need to start off with?

Many thanks

Note that dealing in stocks and shares is a long term thing.

To make any money you have to stay in it for "the long term" as shares can go down as well as up so you need to be prepared to see out the lows.

It also costs money to buy and sell shares so that has to be taken out of any "profit" you make.

It is a gamble and if a company goes under (as had happened a lot in the last few years) you could lose all the value of your shares.

There are plenty of web sites and books to get you going, so just start small and see how goes.

Don't put all your money in one company !

Forex have an app and run a platform where you can 'practice' called plus 500 but I wouldn't actually trade with them with real money as they can get touchy about paying you your money and accuse you of improper trading, scalping and so on, but great for you to get a feel for how things work.

And if you need an online broker then Halifax operated IWeb is where I lose money. Cheap and easy to use.
