I have 68 shares in Tesco I've earned through working there. I'd like to start buying a few shares every month in other companies too but I have no idea where to start. Can anyone help please?

sabretoothtigger

Stick to the company scheme is probably best, on such small amounts. If you want more, buy a ftse fund or similar because they are pretty low on the charges

I don't work there anymore unfortunately, but I'll look into the ftse fund, thanks

Halifax Share Dealing have another of their cheap share dealing offers this Tuesday ...

http://www.halifax.co.uk/sharedealing/events/

The next Commission Countdown offer is on Tuesday 8th July.

Buy and sell UK shares online for just £3.95 commission between 12pm and 2pm

Buy and sell international shares for just £3.95 commission between 8am and 9pm

As always, reduced commission doesn't mean reduced risk. No matter what commission you pay, share prices can go down as well as up and you might not get back the full amount you invest.

To take advantage of our UK offer simply sign in to your account between 12pm and 2pm and place your trade as usual. For international trades you will get the reduced rate of commission between 8am and 9pm that day. As long as your real-time trade executes during these offer periods you will only pay £3.95 commission.

I have 68 shares in Tesco I've earned through working there. I'd like to start buying a few shares every month in other companies too but I have no idea where to start. Can anyone help please?

I also would be interested in some guidance for a beginner wanting to buy shares.

I will be a small investor with about £50 to invest every couple of months or so.

Would like to invest a little in various companies that take my fancy with a view to keeping them for about 6/8 yrs.

Not sure where to start or how I go about it.

Think I will see if I can get a beginners book out of the library but any advice would be appreciated.

Will subscribe to this thread as well and when I have time, work my way through it so I have a basic understanding.
