Not got a lot to play with but I fancy having a dabble on the markets - so can you recommend a decent on-line share dealing website?
Try google - most banks have decent services. Personally I use Charles Stanley but wouldn't recommend particularly - its execution only, does what it says on the tin, no more, no less.
try not buying when a crash is happening, you might find the value of the shares you bought sort of crash....
What bank are you with?
The banks have their own online share dealing services, that might be the easiest option.
The Royal Bank of Scotland did for a while (if they dont still) use T D Waterhouse as a stock broker.
You can go direct to TD Waterhouse yourself.
The Motleyfool website can (sometimes) have some good advice.
Buying shares is obviously all about buying the right companies, therefore avoid the companies that a not currently paying out a dividend (there might be exceptions ) since they will not be around long enough for you to make any money on them.
We have probably not even started to see the bottom of this recession.
Once we find out the truth about the UK economy plenty of well known companies will have collapsed
BP must be a good buy, surely?
