Anyone know the best way to start going about buying shares as an investment etc; I know all the dangers etc but I feel it's time I started trying to make some money other than the job I'm in. I've been reading about the whole thing but there's not actually any guide to actually buying them or recommended companies etc; |

i imagine that it'd be best to look at companies in a field of industry that you know about, but other than that i have no idea. have you tried reading publications such as the financial times, economist, etc...? i think 'which?' magazine will offer some sort of guide, but probably only to their subscribers - don't expect any help for free :) |

I haven't read the actualy publications but I've been through their online sites. Forgot about Which? though. Good idea! |

Don't do it if you can't afford to loose the money. Otherwise I know nothing |

buy a house and rent it out.do it now. |

Yeah. If it's the same trend over in UK, one should probably stick to buying property. Even if you bought magic Harry Potter-shares ten years ago, you would have made more money if you brought property |

shares and stocks works in an interesting way for ordinary people - things happening that makes the stock market happy and shares more worth (downsizing, outsourcing) are often the same things that makes people unemployed... A lot of ads informs about how good shares are - the elite want people to work for them and then "invest" their hard-earned money in the stock market. What a nice set up. |

This is the problem. I don't have enough money to buy a house without crippling myself with debt and mortgage repayments through the arse. However, I do want to try and invest some money but also do something a bit more daring than a high interest account. Probably stupid but I just want to do something different. Shares are a risk granted but I won't go mental and diving into high risk ventures. |

I don't think the current system will last another ten years, there isn't enough growth in Western countries to support the stock exchange, too many markets are already saturated. (How many more McDonalds can they open? How many more cars on the road?) and falling birthrates. China, on the other hand looks good, but look what happened to Japan's "bubble economy." |

I'm about 1/2 way through reading 'rule makers rule breakers' by the motley fool. I've never bought stock. The book lists about 6 or so rules, sort of a heuristic to selecting the sock of companies most likely to explode (rule breakers), ie microsoft etc. As for property I read manufactured homes depreciate, unless they are on their own land (not on a rented lot). Regular homes have been appreciating, however some suspect they are in some sort of bubble and might go down soon (usa I guess). I have no idea what the fuck I'm writing about. Don't you hate when you go to google and search for something, then click on the cached version so everything will be highlighted, then it says 'these terms appear only in links pointing to this page'... THEN DON'T PUT IT IN THE SEARCH RESULTS |

You just have to find the next sort of revolution... most likely something related to networking/the internet/etc... maybe some company will make absolute bank on artificial intelligence or something etc. We're in time of exponential change. |

Yeah dude, gambling actually works if you know how. If you play the inside of a rulet table, you can make a lot of money (slow and steady). It's real easy and the odds are with you (since your playing little bets). You see where I added the blue marks? You want to put you chips down here. The spot I didn't put the X on (if you notice the pattern of how I did it) usually never gets played. Since you are betting so far on the inside, you barely make money, BUT you did win money. You just gotta keep at it for a bit. How it works is that you are basically picking every number on the board. At the Casino I went to , the earnings was like times 5 your bet. So, even though you lose 4 out of 5 of your chips, you still win 5 back off of the ONE that did get picked. So 5 - 4 = 1 BUT that last chip won the game so 1 X 5 = 5 PLUS you still keep that on chip in the game so you actually have 6 now. It's slow, but if you play the tables enough, and move up to higher bidding tables, you could make a few hundred dollars in one day. by the time I figured this out, I had to leave so I only made off with 50 bucks, but this was like in the span of 1 hour, and I was playing the 1 dollar tables. It works try it! |

Get hold of a copy of Money Week (from the people behind The Week, which you're more likely to find in good newsagents), there's some good advice in that. Not that I've invested because I'm always skint - but you can get four issues for a quid, I think. Google it and see what comes up. Warning: once your four issues are up you'll keep on getting mailshots to do with spread betting, horse racing betting systems and "red hot penny shares" and no, Penny Shares isn't the latest xxx sensation, more's the pity. |
