    Good response to this topic, I realise my situation conforms more to savings but I am very interested in getting involved in stocks and shares but my knowledge is quite limited, does anyone have any advice on how to get started.

    Savings:
    £3000 in an NS&I ISA
    £4000 in ICICI
    These are mid to long term savings.

    Investments
    £1500 worth of shares each in 6 different companies, 3 FTSE100 and 3 AIM.
    £500 each in 3 short-term CFD holdings. The CFDs are held up to a max duration of 6 weeks on average, although a couple were sold to take profit within a week.

    The rest of my assets are in short-term instant access accounts.

    ISA - Hargreaves Lansdown - in various share Funds
    SIPP - Hargreaves Lansdown - ditto
    Cash - Icesave - for car and holidays
    NS&I - Premium Bonds - for kids education soon
    AIM - couple of high risk shares
    PLUS - one extremely high risk warrant
    Sharesave - in the company I work for
    Pension - 3% employer matched into Funds
    Betfair - for sports betting
    CMC Markets - for index and share spreads
    If it takes a man a week to walk to walk a fortnight how long does it take a fly with tackity boots on to walk through a barrel of treacle?

    85% Equity Funds
    5% Shares (3 large UK companies)
    10% Cash

    Very equity biased! But we have overpaid the mortgage, so could take that back and increase the cash if need be. Our own house would be worth more than 5 times our investments - but may consider property investments when we have finished paying the mortgage. Also have an endowment policy, not included in the above because I dont know its value. It was originally taken to repay the mortgage. We switched to a repayment mortgage but kept up the endowment payments.
