Hi,
After reading loads of posts here, I hope someone could give me some advise. There very little posted about buying and holding shares either longterm or shortterm. Also alot of posts advise newbies to use Spread betting as a starter. I would class myself as a beginner although I have been reading as much as I can about T/A. Books recommended by this board such as John Murhy, Steven Achelis and Martin Pring which have interactive CD'S. Problem is Ive got lost in all the info that I cant seem to find a starting point. I have Sharescope for my data which I think is great, but I dont put to proper use because Ive got so wrapped up in the belief that you need to know everything before you can begin. If I was to look to Spreadbetting as a jump of point and opened a cash account as recommended in one of many posts, would Sharescope software be ok or should Ilook to metastock and keep Sharescope as my datafeed. Or should I forget about Spreadbetting and deal with shares first. In myself I know I have the abilitys to become a trader, Im not out to make my fortunes and I know it will take several years to feel comfotable with it. But Im sure Im like many, in that its hard to decide were to make that first leep.
Regards Robert
