OIL and Gold is very volatile, be very careful with the margins (easy liquidation)
Try using MetaTrader 4 trading platform is not bad, always use stop/loss and take/profit

That will be enough to get you started

With the global meltdown, you could do worse than simply buy Krugerrands. That way, you don't ever have to worry about banks...

Gold's looking a bit bearish at the moment, however I know a few people who invest in gold via bullionvault.com, but I don't think it would be ISA compatible. Failing that you have the ETF's, but might be risky as they are backed by other companies (see recent AIG problems) or the gold shares themselves, have a site where they list global gold stocks, will try and dig it out.

Shorting is back again on stocks therefore I would forget about Oil

LOL, I thought you couldn't explain why! Nothing given above has anything to do with not trading oil because shorting is now allowed. Really Magos, you are full of hot air.

Y = C +I + G +NX
C = consumption expenditures
I = investment expenditures
G= government purchases of goods and services
NX= Net exports
A business cycle is the pattern of economic expansion and contraction
Recessions, or contractions are the periods of time during Y falls
Recoveries or expansions are the periods of time during which Y increases
Macroeconomics policy natural causes
1. Making the long-run average line as steep as possible
2. Reducing the size of business fluctuations around the long-run average growth line

Process during economic downturn
Prices all over the economy fall
The economy again produces at fully employment
Finally what causes a recession?
The U.S. based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) defines a recession more broadly as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales.
