Depends. If you pay them a lot, they won't care about the company. If you
pay them in shares, they will. So you pay them in shares ideally.
How would one go about stock market trading? Is there any information/how to's that you could enlighten me about?

What site do you use etc

No, he is a day trader.

I learnt from Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham and Peter Lynch.

I use a broker called Hargreaves Lansdown. They have a lot of information and are beginner friendly. However their charges are high if you prefer to invest in funds. If you stock pick, they are cheaper.

You need to open an account with a broker, such as the one I mentioned. Add money to the account and buy/sell when the market is open. European markets open at 8 am GMT. American markets open at 2:30 pm GMT. Asia is overnight, but most people stick to Europe and the US.

Equities mainly. Some fixed income, but mainly equities.

Equities for the sole reason they have potential for capital gains and good companies grow their dividend (which in fixed income you won't find). Equities have statistically outperformed all other asset classes on a return basis in the long term.

Yes, google finance. This gives real time Level 1 data. If you want Level 2 data you need to pay for it.

Level 1 shows live prices, i.e. the price at which the last trade took place.
Level 2 shows the complete order book, orders on the buy and sell side. So you see
the complete liquidity of a security.

Indeed.
if I have £32000 invested with £500 been added to the investment every month what is the best investement if I want to make a smallish profit but really dont want to take big risks as this is my tuition money?

I have £7000 invested in Reckitbenkiser
then £5000 invested in 4 different portfolios from the same fund thingy you know where you select low risk investment
then I have £3000 invested in a gold ETF multiplier
and £900 sitting in cash.

I think this is sensible because if Things stay stable Reckit does well and the 4 portfolio thingys make a little bit of profit if their is a crash the gold multiplies upwards etc.

Thoughts?
gis a fiver mate?
