Answer 1

The amount you have is to small to buy shares on your own. Got to a bank and ask the minimum amout to buy unit trust.

Answer 2

Buy stock in a company whose products you use (look in your refrigerator and cupboards for ideas).  That way, you have a natural interest in the company and you are somewhat intuitively aware of how strong the company is.  Shares in a company can be bought and sold.  There is a fee attached to both buying and selling - look at various brokerage sites to see how much they charge (search 'brokerage sites' ?).  Companies can go out of business or be bought by other companies, so, no, shares do not necessarily last forever.  If you want to invest in the stock market you must do some work - regularly - to keep up with what you own.  Be aware that the stock market goes up AND down.  The most stable companies don't move a lot in either direction, but when the whole market is tanking, most stocks will go down with it and vice-versa.  It's easy to open a trading account online, but you can also go to a broker in person.  Your investments should always be Your Decision!!  It's your money and you worked hard for it, get a clue before you start.  

Answer 3

You do not have enough to start trading, and without a decent amount of understanding of the market, you would almost certainly be loser. Forget it for now; do some research, then pick out a few shares, (without actually buying them), and track their progress. It is easier to make gains in a rising market, which is not the case at the moment.  

Answer 4

well, £100 is not much for share trading, isn't it?

I started with the same amount though or about it. Try financial spread betting as it's a leveraged product it's more profitable but at the same time it's riskier.

Try http://www.independentinvestor.co.uk as they explain spread betting and share dealing account. You can also find the cheapest brokers for you needs.

I'd also suggest you to regularly visit sites like http://www.bloomberg.com and http://www.ft.com

Answer 5

OK, so you want to start buying stocks in the shortest, easiest definition possible:

The first step:

First step is obviously picking the right stock. In order to do this, you will need to learn Fundemental Analysis. You can start here:

http://www.investopedia.com/university/f...

Fundemantal analysis is basically helps you find good companies that are currenty out-of-favor with the market. In other words, good companies that are currently undervalued and under priced. You are expecting that their financial statements are healthy enough to increase their current low price and make future earnings.

Step 2:

Work on your personal finance and determine how many shares you want to own. Determine your time frame. Are you in this for the long-term? Short term? 1-5 years is considered relatively short. Time frame is important because it will help you manage your portfolio better. Develope a strategy by slowly educating yourself on how to and when to enter, manage your share counts, portfolios and learn how to diversify.

Step 3:

Check out all the discount brokers on the internet. Tdameritrade.com, e-trade.com and many, many others. They offer different fees and different services, but all of which will allow you to pick-and-choose the stocks you want to buy.

There is a lot more to buying stocks, but I hope this helps gets you started. Email me if you need any help. Good luck!

Answer 6

You sound like just the investor the Aussie stock exchange is looking for...

Have a look at the ASX (or other stock exchange or stock traders) website, there is introductory info for new investors.

Answer 7

£100 is too small an amount, of your £100 20% would be lost by dealing charges and stamp duty.
