Just another tip, never trust sites like the Motley Fool, they also have their own agendas and paymasters. It's also usually too late when they reocmmend something.

The amount of times these so called sites recommend a share that does the opposite or vice versa.

Sounds like you are on the right path, I wish I got into shares when I was your age. 43 myself and wishing I started doing it earlier, doing busy burning my money on things like cars.

Learn and read, when you are ready you will do very well and DYOR (Do Your Own Research), best o fluck and hope it all works ou for you.

Hi,

I've been doing this for a couple of years now so no way an expert but have learnt a lot in these two years, what I would recommend is not to put your 10K into one company, I did this when I started on what I thought was a dead cert (metro bank) when it was low and it kept going down.

Spread the risk and also learn about the market, it's very uncertain times at the moment and there is good potential to make money but also to lose.

Stay away from AIM to start with it's high risk,learn about shorting/bots and how they can control a share. Try and stay away from anything with high shorts.

Read some books i.e. Naked Trader, Warren Buffet Way, Benjamin Graham etc , learn all the different acronyms etc

There are a lot of very good people on these forums that you can learn a lot from, just remember everyone has their own agenda and they will ramp/deramp shares for their own gain.

Best of luck
