Hi folks,

Been watching and reading you all for a while now and thourghly entertaining it is but are you trading real money ? Not meaning to be totally thick but there are games out there such as champion investor etc that makes it possible to trade and not risk. lso how do you set up acounts with stockbrokers and what are your personal favourites.

TIA.

Hi Chimp Choker

I am a frequent dealer and chose to use HSBC's internet dealing. As a high activity dealer (not quite daily, but almost) I pay as little as 6.95 per trade so it's worth shopping around. I must confess that I tend to follow the recommendations on the bulletin board all of which need to be carefully considered but even where I am down I am prepared to wait and hopefully see a recovery in the long term. I spread the risk as far as possible with a diverse range of predominantly AIM listed securities. All risky but not always subject to the large falls and rises which we have seen in recent days
After a while you'll get to know the rampers and derampers quite well and those who you feel are flogging a dead horse! (refer to EIRX - Potatohead) Good Luck.

Mr Turbot
ph will get it right one day then we will be rich.
