    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Speculation having a punt gambling often the same thing with shares as well as horses.

    If you want cheap Use X-O if you want ease of use and no charges (unlike III) use something like Halifax.

    If your happy go for it just remember things can go very wrong as well as very right and sometimes go nowhere...for ages.

    Never use money you cannot afford to lose unless part of a structured investment plan.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
