if you're still a little wary, try a practice trading account first, its not real money and will get you used to the trading platform but also to share price movements. while you do this decide on what you want out of trading. if its solid growth with dividends stay away from risky oil and miners on the AIM and stick to shares in the FTSE350. if its short term investing with a greater degree of risk, then look into AIM, but do your own research and dont follow the advice of others, its your money and then you cant blame anyone else if it goes wrong! good luck whatever you do, its fun and dont lose any sleep over it.
