    I think I'll probably go with a self select S&S isa now.
    At least if I lose out I will only have myself to blame.
    Halifax seem to have a decent trading platform.

    I don't think i'll go for funds now.

    Why aren't you going for funds now? Can you articulate an answer?

    You've made step number one - taking responsibility for your own investments. Now before you get swept up in doing it, step number 2 is to start learning about how share investing works, how to create a balanced portfolio etc etc.

    Don't jump right in and start gambling on stocks. You'll lose lots, if not everything.
    Mmmm, credit crunch. Tasty.
