Trading stocks

[anonymous-user]

Hi all,

Probably going to get laughed at a bit, basically ive been using a practice account on trading 212 with mixed results.

Im very interested in stocks and investing but im a complete beginner, are there any particular up to date books that would help me understand it a bit more?

I understand trading 212 isn't a true representation of stock trading and im not sat here waiting to earn millions just very interested.

Any help or guidance appreciated!

I'm no expert but I reckon the safest thing to do would probably put the money into managed funds through an investment platform such as Hargreagves Lansdown.

There's an almost endless amount to choose from so do your research and pick one with low fees.

One of the things alot of people mention at the minute is index tracker funds due to the low fees/maintenance.

Trading stocks and shares just seems like a dangerous waste of money to me unless you're like the guy out of Limitless.

As I say i'm no expert and there are a few guys on here who are so i'd maybe wait and see what they say.

Brilliant, thanks for your response, I will take a look into them and see if it's what im looking for.

Yeah, I didn't want anyone to think im wanting/pretending to the guy from limitless

Thanks for your help and all other responses welcome
