I want to get involved with investing. What is the best way for me to buy stock?

Diversify!
This is critically important, because if you put all your eggs in one or two baskets and they go down in price – you have lost all the amount you started with.
If you invest in lets say 10 or 20 stocks, it doesn’t matter if one or two lose. This is the most important factor that most people when they start out forget to remember.
SOME OF YOUR PICKS WILL LOSE – EVEN IF YOU ARE A GURU
If you have limited resources though this can be impossible, so it is best to save up, until you can.
There are ways around this though…
Firstly, you could try your luck with spreadbetting, which requires a smaller amount of money to invest in something, but the risks can be far higher.
I would recommend having a look at igindex
Secondly, you can try your luck with demo accounts (a lot of brokers offer these), were you actually trade, but don’t spend and money
Hope this is of some use
