I am also a novice investor and am reading everything I can on this forum re investing threads and perusing monevator articles and anything else I can lay my hands on. Are you sure though that a trading course will be something to help you? There is an awful lot of online information you can get for free. It seems to me you need to work out why you need to know about investing and if it is for you to accumulate wealth perhaps you need to identify why? Is it for security in your old age or saving for something specific - ie a house, holiday, car as the investments you choose will depend on your ultimate goals?

I shan't bother with the course.

I'd like to know more in order to help me make better decisions. I don't have much at all to invest, so am tempted to go with higher risk options, at least in the future, when / if I understand what those risks are. I know it's always a gamble - but I'd like to have a bit of clue!

I think it is unrealistic to expect an income from the little I have, so I guess I'm going for growth.

Please bear with me - truth be told I haven't figured it out yet :rotfl: Not sure what happened to me over Christmas, but suddenly time feels like it is ticking!

Edit: Thinking about it, I suppose I want to live elsewhere, nearer my eldest daughter. Trouble is, it's expensive. I need to put down at least another £100K to get the sort of place I'd want out there. But that would be nice, before I'm too old. That's as near as I have to a goal, atm.
