Don't trade on the stock market in this climate, indexed funds are much safer.

He says trading. With only 500 quid I read that as leveraged trading. I may be wrong. I hope I am wrong. Because in a leveraged situation that statistic applies. It's more than likely he'd get wiped out within a very short time. And that's not just on the movement of the market, that's on the trickery of the market maker and him f****** you on the price, spread and never missing an opportunity to stop you out on figures coming out that you'll receive with a big delay. It's a mugs game.

Obviously he's not going to lever his 500, like how would you get that idea???

I literally have 0 idea what you are talking about.

Unless you mistook 'warning given' to be aimed at you. It was a reference to the warning I have the OP about leveraged trading....

Invest in Funds through someone like Hargreaves and Lansdown to start learning about the market. To buy funds there are no trading fees. But you will of course earn less than most equities but it's safer of course.

haha...well, no. since you're an online stranger, it's pretty funny that you try and judge me and then say "you don't know meee!" in response. who cares if people know you or not? it's a free world, and you're not owed anything...lol..so we're level, I'm glad we're in agreement.

Massively depends on if it's actively traded/who by/ index it's benchmarked against etc.

My last company, on me being hired my CEO offered to do a Q&A one on one sesh with me about the company (research) and industry (pure equities) and I blurted out " why don't investors just put their money in S&P index trackers instead of trying to beat the market and usually making less money?" And he was like;

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr

............errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

.................................ego.

He's a very respected man in the industry.
