If you fancy investing/trading/dealing in shares then why not? Just don't cash in all your chips to do it! You can still make money with share purchases of £1000 or less but obviously fees will take a bigger slice of the pie. I started ten years ago with deals of £500 or so and made enough to keep me interested. As long as you realise it will cost you money, maybe a lot of money, to learn what you're doing, then go for it!
Over the years I've made money from shares, but I have to say I have made much more from funds and trusts...
Dealing charges by default are £11.95 per trade, this can decrease if you've dealt a specific number of trades in the previous month. (Can down to as low as £5.95)
0 - 9 deals £11.95
10 - 19 deals £8.95
20 or more deals £5.95"If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes” Warren Buffett
