Saw this on techcrunch - seedrs - basically you can invest anything from ten quid up on UK startups and then retire if they become the next google :clap: Like any good investor I wouldn't dream of making a decision on my own :innocent: so anyone fancy going through the options there with me and...

Wouldn't say I'm serious but I've eked out a living in some otherwise hard times. Coming up with a system to monitor yourself for wild tilting is pretty much the major skill, as far as I can tell.

Yes - there would be some fairly glorious market abuses if it didn't work like this, though :)

Just saw this thread and thought it was worth a revive, but sadly I can't help much. I went into the market as well a few years back, and reached much the same conclusion - and not being a farmer (or really having any great understanding of agriculture in general) it seemed like it was worth...

I know you won't listen to haters - so try this: Rocky's the best because he gets beaten a lot but he always gets up! So make your aim to get as much experience as possible. And the only way that you'll do that is by betting small. There's a proverb in Go: "Lose your first fifty games as...
