    Margin and Exposure?

    I heard it's important to understand these terms when you go into trading. What do they mean? And what should you be looking for? What's a typical % used to work out a stock's stoploss? Or does it vary according to the stock?

    Lloyds and Diageo?

    I guess a bank ISA would be cool, thing is if I have money in the bank I might be tempted to spend it and if I lost my job and went on the dole they would find out about my money compared to if it was in an etrade account and I couldn't claim.

    Lloyds and Diageo?

    Just buy wait for them to go up then sell? Is that share purchase? What do you mean trading instruments? Even though I sold £12,500 at 58.9p worth buying back say £4,000 at 59p? I won't make the mistake of putting all my money into the same stock again!
