Hi,
As you can probably tell from my request I am new to the share dealing game. After investing my money (not much, but all that I could afford) I was somewhat disappointed to see the results of the so-called professionally managed funds in which I had invested.
So, I have decided to look at doing it myself. I have read many of your messages on this site but would like to address this question to the more experienced investors amongst you: I realise that the share tips you mention are only recommendations and you all repeat the mantra do your own research which I thoroughly agree with. However, being a novice can you recommend any reading materials (books, websites etc.) that will offer me a sound introduction as to how to analyse a stock?
Any help would be very gratefully received and who knows, one day I too could be exchanging share tips with some of you experts!

sorry, I filtered myself out could not read my post, fixed it now!!
