Hi, Read your tips on moneyam.com, new at this game, have about 2k to play with never actually brought stock and shares.

How can i find things like penny shares and how do you do the research on a particulare share.

Who to use to buy and sell the shares and what their rates are like.

I hope you don't mind me approaching you like this.

Would prefer to buy shares that are termed as pennies shares (below 1).

Also is a minumum buy and a maxium buy of the Shares ?

Any tips - Help !!!!!!!!!

Thank in advance.

THanX 4 ALL the brill advice - my wife and I remain intrigued and surprised by the inherent philosophy of this BB and it's participants - given the competitive world we live in - dare I say it, U lot seem to challenge each other to SUCCEED - "we dare U to make money - AND ere's the downside risk I've learned - the expensive way - and I'll share it for free!" Keep it up - and thanX!

The more I read/research, the more I get the sense that the "rules" are in favour of the "house" and am reminded of the time when a French policeman pulled me over for going thru a red-light in Paris (which I never saw - 'onest guv) and reprimanded me: "U must B care-fool".

Cognitive mapping of all the advice from the different BB posters is giving up some interesting results. Although intuitive, one may say, the groupings arising have surprised me - which is good (learning takes place). Kayaks last post has given rise to a new grouping - "reality check"!

Each poster, in his or her own way, defines a new set of boundaries/constraints, in an unconstrained market environment - especially considering super computers/bots and multi-million pound traders. Information ISN'T PERFECT, and the markets DO seem to be influenced by a small amount of PLAYERS - so much for the theory!!

I've been a statistician for years and quite comfortable with graphs, software and PC's - I've got an MBA - so reasonably comfortable with strategic management and the World of Business and the World of Management (WOB/WOM) - but I have to tell U, (and judging by your sound advice - this is normal) the stock market has my head spinning - the process, the software - especially real-time, the background company research, etc. just blows my mind - ney matter!

I'd hazard a guess and say that the BEST Day Trader HAS 2 B a woman. Men cannot multi-task as well as a woman can (4 my wifes benefit!) Maybe it's just me - but this whole malarky does seem to just have a HINT of FUN in it. INIT?

Fun? - yes. Been doing it for nearly six years P, and it's the most fun job I ever had.

As long as the known hazards are properly allowed for. And as long as one also makes allowance for there being some unknown hazard one has not yet learned of.

It's a game. And like all the best games there is always more to learn. And always possible to get slaughtered if concentration is allowed to flag or if life's various distractions impede.

So set out a business plan that includes the facility for stepping aside - taking time out - whenever things are not comfortable. Make "doing nothing" one of the planned positions - otherwise you end up trading just because you feel that non-action is a fault. Design-in some pit stops. Share trading is one of those rare businesses in which one has no employees and no customers to worry about - so no excuse not to include time out.
