Hi Nmj
If you live near a main library they used to have investing type mags to peruse. I don't read publications, you may have noticed I do like finding snippets on the internet!
When I started this game, I just read what I could find online and in papers, I did not know what a share chat site was, drew my own conclusions and never lost a penny.
Then one fateful day I started reading the Naked Trader, got to the part where he said Aim shares about to go up the footsie were often a good bet, found chat sites at the same time, with all those clever people who knew much more than me.
There was the share for me, about to rise to the next league, the CEO and knowledgeable posters said so. Still recovering from that one.
Be wary of positive posters, they can draw you in to buy rubbish, at least with a deramper you will have only lost an opportunity.
Do your own research, especially on the business history of those running the show.
I've kissed four frogs on Aim in the last year despite my research, came away with my money intact, but not much more. Did well previously with Boohoo, Questor in the Telegraph had said not to touch it!
This one I am happy to sit with despite a loss, but don't take my word for it!
