    I have around £500-700 I could easily lose without being depressed, and as I'm new to it all I can expect that.

    I hate to say this, but the above advice is all correct and that's not enough to be buying individual shares.

    Why not consider setting up a monthly drip-feed into an ISA that can build up enough in a diverse global fund? Once this has built up, you'll have more options, and meanwhile start doing lots of reading and research.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    It is easily enough to start an Investment Trust savings scheme, these start from around £25 so you could even go for two (in some circus).

    You could try F&C website, Aberdeen or Baillie Gifford to find one that suits.
