Best tip is get in today don't wait.

currently I wouldn't recommend this for index tracking.

(target the dips works better)

 

research and strategy. the more you put in, the more

you're likely to get out. start by working out what your

best advantages are versus other investors/traders.

the nitty gritty of tools/apps would be solved with

experience but the driving force to make the right

investments would need to come from you personally.

Loving it, their own guide says the banks lend out your money that you deposit!

I prefer to take advice from people who have succeeded in the market over decades and not some random person on a forum. Who by the way is probably not even in the market or if is has  very little invested.

And this is exactly why you should join a investment forum or read books. All the billionaire investors say the same thing. Get in now dont put it off. Most important thing is time in the market not timing the market.

what's better(from an investment point of view):

1. buying into something and leave to run the test of

time?

2. choose carefully what and when to buy and watch

over your investments?

Getting into the stock market now at near all time highs for me doesn't propose much value. Not saying that money can't be made, it's just for me too high for my liking.

I first bought stocks in 08/09 no idea what I was doing but pretty much everything was smashed down. Sold afterwards with a bit of a profit but had I held on and rode the upward trend that followed I would probably be able to smile and grin showing all my teeth.

I chose some stocks, at the time I was with the share centre (broker).

Now I have not bought shares for a while but 2020 I'm actively going to get into the paper markets for Au and Ag. Maybe go in for some etf's and have a punt on a handful of miners.

Will be interesting to see how you progress. Your choices, successes etc. Do share some updates. 
 

I’ve Prospected on a couple of mines this year. Think I would only do etf’s for quick profits - not long term.

In april I opened an account with the broker degiro as they have the lowest fees by far.

Bought 300£ of gazprom and mobilne telesystemy stocks. Both gave me around 8% dividend. 

Now I am waiting for the stock market to take a dive (50% crash will happen sooner or later) and then I will invest around 5k in high dividend uk stocks such as hsbc. 

For me it is speculation and generating income as well. After the crash, which we do hear about will "inevitably" come - I am investing one time 5k and then keep buying monthly as well. Dividends will be reinvested.

That is my strategy, which suits my needs, goals and income. It is not for everyone obviously.

You will have to formulate for yourself what you are trying to accomplish and what risks you are willing to take.

I had a quite look at Degiro and there fees are indeed very, very low.

Yes, doesn't get any cheaper than Degiro fees as far as I can see.

The next stocks I am looking to buy, but only at bargain prices, are:

HSBC
Vodafone
Shell
SSE.

All of them have paid out high dividends over the past decade.

They might not pay out a dividend post crash for a few years. This happens quite often after big crashes.

I've never held stocks before but just signed up with Degiro. Seems an easy platform to use and as others have said, tiny fees.

I'm only thinking of putting in about £2k at the moment, and adding more as I go. I'm bullish on the miners so will have to spend some time reading up on some options. Thinking a mix of a couple of speculative ones and 'safer' bets like Barrick Gold etc.
