Hi,

I've saved enough money to buy a house and it is just sat in the bank. I've learnt about the stock market and want to invest the money fir 12 months in certain stocks and buy shares.

please the only thing i need to know is how do I buy shares?

Do I go to the bank?
open an online account?

Buy the house first.

Don't do it. Get the best interest rate for a one year fixed account. You want the house and investing in the market could mean you lose it. I don't post much, but this is serious advice!

Listen to smart people, and first buy a house. Trade on Forex can only be conducted with the money that it is not a pity to lose.

You can buy shares through a stockbroker or a bank for long term and get the share certificates.
If you are going to trade short term then a broker like IG will be best.
However before you start try a demo account and only splash the cash when and if you are consistently profitable or you will be 95% sure to lose the lot.

Lol. I am loving the responses #tomorton.

Seconded. Buy the house first.

Either that or go black or red.

Please do not gamble your money away, before investing/trading, you need to know what you are doing, otherwise it will be like going to casino...

Don't buy house, don't buy stocks. Give me the money. The stuff is far more useful in my hands.

You have done great to save up the money to buy a house. Most of the time house prices increase, which means that if you buy it now you will do so before any further increases take place and it may, if you're lucky, start to increase in value faster than the investment in the bank.

Shares can go up and down and for a beginner you are very likely to lose part of the money you have struggled to save.

So buy the house - if necessary rent it out.

a good way to learn about stocks is to join a forum, ask a couple of questions, then disappear.. :clap:
