Stock Market

[J0SH]

Anyone tried their luck on it or invested some money in brokers?

My dads business partner does it for a living, if you was to give him money he's so good at it he gurantees like a 100% return, so when I've got some savings one day I'ma give him something to invest and double :P

Anyones parents/friends do this for a wage or extra income?

The stock market is the main way my grandpa got his wealth.

I'm experimenting with dummy money on Plus500 and my profit is only 50p. You really to research this for years and know what you're doing, it's so hard :(

Yeah it's pretty hard to get good at, but once you are, it pays off big.

I have some shares I bought in November last year, I paid £2.05 for each one, and today they are close to £4.00, may they continue to rise :)

i wouldn't become dependent on it for income but i can imagine me risking small-time money on the stock market when i'm older

My dad got all his money by doing that and my mom got all her money from buying/selling/renovating/building houses. Some people I went to high-school got like brand new Range Rovers for their 16 birthday and when they graduated their parents didn't know if they had the money to send them to college because all of their money was tied up in the stock market.

I've been wanting to get involved for a while, I think when I have a job i'll start a seperate fund (as if I do so now i'll have no money to spend) - best way to invest is in commodities at the moment, I follow Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers and would follow their advice at the moment.

My dad does it, he's earnt enoughnto pay for me and my sisters uni fees (including accommodation and stuff) so far.

Way he puts it; he works for his retirement, and he does shares for me and my sister :P

Risky you have to always be updated with how companies are run and stuff, my dads business partner lost 30k when Obama done a speech because it was so similar to a Bush speech.
