I am unsure whether it is a good or bad thing that I immediately knew about Wesbistics.

Diversify portfolio, buy low and sell high. Haha I am just getting started myself and only bought one stock so far. Next I am looking at an oil/related services company. Seasoned brokers, tips will be appreciated

I trade commodities on easy-forex. Market is very volatile right now. Wouldn't really recommend commodities right now unless you have plenty of money to risk.

What`s commodities?

What`s commodities?

 

Texan sweet oil, Brent crude, heating oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper. Exciting but risky business and fluctuates a lot with global affairs.

I chortled, bro. Incidentally, there has just been some weird fungal disease across the south-east USA orange crop that has really ruined it. Folks who have invested in non-US orange futures have just made a ton of money!

I've just opened a Forex account, not a huge amount of money deposited, but not tiny either. 

 

Thought I'd give it a bash. Will steer well clear of commodities and just go shares. Have yet to really get involved in the learning. 

 

Anyone else using Forex? Any horror stories/success stories?

Coke and whores is how you want to invest it.

I've always wanted to do this, shame I haven't got a pot to piss in.

You only need £60 to open an account mate.

You then get a "virtual" account with 5000 dollars in it so you can pretend for a while and get used to trading and how it works.

AIM will give you horror\success stories. I've made thousands in minutes and lost it just as quickly.

 

If you want a more stress free career in shares then stick to well known names and invest long term. If you want to try to make yourself rich then have ago in the AIM market but be warned, it is the Wild West in there and you will most likely lose your money, especially at first so don't invest cash that you can't afford to lose.

 

And the best tip - don't believe anyone about a share. Always research any company and don't invest unless you are sure you know what you are doing.
