Ok I am not quite Gordon Gecko but after weeks of umming and ahhing and reading all sorted of emails and websites I took the plunge today and join the Stock Market. Investing £500.00 in two stocks I tipped my toe in the water and spent all day refreshing my web browser to see what was happening…certainly something I need to get out of the habit of doing!!
So I invested £250 in Booker and Blinkx following ‘advice’ from the various website and brokers that seem to be getting a decent success rate. We shall see, so watch this space!! As it stood by the way, at the end of the day I was even, but if I sold my shared the £5 per trade charge would take that from me and I’d have made a loss!
Will try and add to the portfolio but it’s all going to be kept as a surprise and I hope that by the end of next year I will have £5k in the pot. That’s my target that I am aiming for anyway, we shall have to wait and see…and that’s just it, it is a waiting game!
