Hello all I'm Kyle, I am completely new to stocks, I shall be looking to trade within the penny stocks sector. I know the risk of trading and so on, If anyone has any tips feel free to let me know. I will be using the stick threads to get me going. I also have a few questions: 1. What capital should i start with 2. Best brokers for the United kingdom 3. How long will it take me to learn. Thanks, All the best.
Welcome! 1) It takes money to make money. While you can start with any amount, it will be easier to trade with at least $2000+ Example, if you have $100 and try make +10% profit, you get $10, which after fees turns out to be a lot less. If you trade with $2000 and make 10% profit, that is $200. If you start with a small amount, one bad trade will knock you out the game. I should also state that trying to trade with no idea of what you are doing will lead to severe losses very quickly, so you need to paper trade (pretend trade) until such time that you are profitable and ready to put real money to work. 2) Best broker in the UK? Im dont know any personally, but some guy was asking about getstocks.com the other day, maybe take a look there. 3) Learning is an ongoing process that never ends. Start today and get the wheels turning! http://stockaholics.net/forums/educational-videos-and-material.20/
