Stock Exchange

Hi,

I am looking for extra ways to earn income during the recession.

I have heard about investing some cash in the Stock Exchange, for example on Forex Exchange.

Can anyone offer some advice on this? It sounds a bit risky.

Theres a seperate discussion thread for stocks and share buying on the board somewhere but i dont think i can put links in because I'm a new member. Its under Savings and Investments.

there is a element of risk as shares can go down as well as up

my advice would be to read up on the subject. If you want to invest in the stock market choose a fund if you do not feel comfortable selecting stocks. The same is true for most asset classes - professionals run them so you can take advantage of their expertise for a fee.

http://www.forextrading.co.uk/ forex trading is only for those who know what they're doing and can be risky due to the high leverage involved. if you're risk averse it's not for you.

its not something you can jump into , you would have to learn to trade, by trading a Demo account depending how fast you can learn it, you would then move on to live real money trading, i think 3 months is a nice time to trade demo account and learn the ropes,
