I want to dabble in some shares, but have no real idea as to what I need to do... I guess I need an account of some sort to get started? Any recommendations? Once I have an account, what do I do then?

Please help a share newbie 🙂

Still tempted by them, don't really see how one could go wrong?

+1 For www.iii.co.uk.

Very easy to setup and trade and the fees are cheaper than a lot of other ones.

It's quite good fun (if you don't make a total hash of it). Certainly more interesting than sticking your savings in a cash account, and then forgetting about them until you get a totally underwhelming interest statement a year later.

Watch the fees (and tax if not in an ISA). Get carried away and you'll only end up giving your money to the brokers and taxman.

Quite a lot I would have thought. No one yet knows the total liabilities and the US Govt looks to be in a mood to screw them for every penny they can get. Plus in this whole shambles BP has proven itself to be very good at getting it wrong, and with the well still not capped who knows what might yet happen.
