usalim are you referring to the mechanics of buying and selling? Sort of how the markets work, interpretation of the sort of data you find in the FT, how dividends are paid, settlement dates, that kind of thing.
or
Investment strategies relating to how to select shares, apply buy/sell strategies, etc.

You don't need a course, just read a couple of books or look at a few articles on Monevator then have a look at Interactive

Sure. You just need my new book

Hi,
there are no guarantees when it comes to the stock market so its probably good to have a solid foundation of basic understanding when it comes to the stock markets. So reading some books on the subject cannot be a bad thing.
If you are looking for something more advanced check out some technical analysis here, this could help.0 -
Read through this previous Mse thread.
What you need to do is open a virtual account somewhere and practise.

Thats a good idea in itself. Add a bit of glamour to your ad and people may just start buying it :rotfl:0
