Look on your bank website for starting a CFD / portfolio / investment trust. Find out the terminology, copy and paste into Google. Research is everything. Trading? 1000 bucks? Doubt an advisory broker will take you on for less than $10k If you are feeling lucky CFD or Spreadbet. I suspect bye...

Join the flock Honest advice? Unless you want to spend all day at a screen, chewing your nails and racing out of bed before the market opens, don't do this. I spent a year doing it, quite enjoyed it for a while. Then I found out more. There are big nasty boys out there who can afford to sell...

How about UK FTSE stocks?

quasi.genus replied - according to a T2W email sent to say I had a reply "The correct drills, mild autism and OCD is a must to make the grade" but it's not here. I borrowed the correct drills - mild autism and OCD is part of any new enthusiasm but difficult to maintain. I remember a TV...

Thanks Not to sound ungrateful but I have read those at the start and read all the learned articles. I haven't bet the farm - I've, most of the the time, not lowered my stops, kept my stops at 3% and moved them up in happier trades. I've read about the good stuff, Elliott, Fibonacci...

Correction: Apologies. An end to mystery -- please

Apologies. 'An end to mystery I say' -- please

T2W write to me now and again. 'We haven't seen you for a while why not post something...?' So whoah! PBoyles has got the hell out but mysteriously watches trading forums. So no answer really yet apart from his which is 'DON'T!' I want to know who knows how to get at least 6 out of 10 right...

Interesting remarks if, in some cases, as contradictory as I already said in the opening thread. 1. FUBAR SNAFU no problemo Purple Brain 2. PBoyles. I've retired from the dignity of labour so I don't plan on working for 'the man' anytime soon. I agree re commission win or lose but why are you...

Introduction to CFDs: 1. A nice man phones you because you filled in the form online promising you can make money. 2. You tentatively accept his kind offer to include you in his scheme and deposit money with his organisation (after some cursory google style due diligence and a call to the FCA)...

That happens to me all the time:confused: I try to be philosophical and say "it's money I never had before" and it can easily go the other way. I am thinking of not entering the market until mid day Mondays and getting the hell out Thursday afternoon. It's the gaps that kill me; if the market...

Keep 'em coming - at the moment I'm looking at buying a smallholding surrounded by radar controlled automatic weapons. a. I won't starve b. Starving mobs from the financial industry -sic - will be put out of their misery. Kenya? I don't think so. Cyprus and Iceland? ha ha but - like gold - can...

I have the farm. Like a good boy it lives in a fund which I am assured is virtually unassailable because, like good boys, they spread the risk over a range of investment areas. Sleep peacefully at night and go and play with 5% on CFDs. Fantastic! I can retire comfortably and even add to the...

Hi everyone, I found this forum about 4 weeks too late after I'd broken all the rules I've now read about. I didn't lose it all but I did lose everything I'd made the previous month. A Tripacer is my old Piper aircraft which needs funding, and not in a greedy, fearful and emotional way. It's...
