  • Many sites allow you to build virtual portfolios where you can buy a fictional amount of shares or funds and you can see how you have done over time. Hargeaves Lansdown have this and so does Google finance. Google finance has some nice graphs. they also flag up when a dividend is due. You really must read up and study first but as many say it is not a case of when you enter the market it is how long you stay in that matters. If you start small it is not as costly if you make mistakes. But vice versa you could miss out on some good gains. Play with what you can afford to lose if you are not sure. Enjoy the game and remember unlike betting in a bookies you don't lose unless you cash in these horses run forever unless your very unlucky. :)
