Shares Trading - How to get Started ?

quixonte

Hi All,

I was looking to do a small(£50-£100) regular(monthly) investment in shares. I was wondering if someone could recomment a broker to use who's fee's wouldn't cripple me.

The investments are more about having fun than trying to seriously make some money(though I don't want to lose it all !). I'm going to set myself the target to do better than a high street bank savings account(~6.5%).

Any other advice in this area would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Q

Hi,

I've used Selftrade, this is an execution only service with what is probably one of the best value sites around at the moment.

It use to have a referal service where you can get £50 each as soon as the new member has portfolio worth £500. but I don't know if this still happens.

For small amounts you really need to use the Halifax Sharebuilder account, 1.50 a trade.
