thank you for the advice, this is an interesting learning curve..... just hope the curve continues slowly in the right direction :)

so I'm currently less than a few weeks into my first attempt at real trading. I've had a couple of losses, however overall I've turned a profit. I have around 15 companies in my portfolio currently, one of which has made around 25% profit, so I've just sold that stock and would like to reinvest...
