    They do so regularly, nearly every day - sometimes using more than one "name" too. I've reported as many as three different names in one evening recently.

    after reading about fluxuations market ---u need to be mystic meg and balls of steel knowing when to sell

    im thinking of using full allowance cash isa
    pound/cost ave monthly into a ftse250 low/cost tracker

    i wont be richest but better than most

    any thoughts?
    Split it across a couple of different trackers to reduce the risk of one market going down and I think your assessment would be a good one. Better to get rich slowly than not at all.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    A low-cost tracker (or selection of trackers) is definitely a good place to start off before you feel more comfortable moving on to anything more exotic.
