You can lose quicker than you think.
If you are not monitoring it 24/7 I wouldn't try it.

I'm no expert on Forex or the Stock Market generally as I've never really looked into it. Poker is more my preferred area of potential financial enchantment. Of course should keep this on topic and coincidentally just the other week I was wondering whether to buy any WWE stock. Maybe no expert but I know just about enough that with Wrestlemania coming up its probably not gonna be a big money loser. Would have been a "test" more than anything just to get more of a working understanding of the whole thing. Did the same with poker actually just started playing it (can recall playing cards as a kid but not sure whether it was poker or not might have been "snap") and learnt as I went along. Still decided against it perhaps one day I'll look into it more and read something like "stock market for dummies" (insert a predictable joke there if you wish)

I did notice Forex was being offered on William Hill but they recently removed it. Might have looked into it more (wasn't even sure what scale a betting site was offering trading on) but it does seem a little boring compared to some alternatives.

EDIT-Just seen after Wrestlemania 31 stock actually fell 14% which is rather hard to understand considering the profits from that event . Rather strange but then again like I've said stock isn't my area of expertise. Funny in a way as I remember reading Ceefax as a kid (including pre teenage years probably since the mid 90's at least) and seeing stock pages wondering what the hell is this about?

I have had a share trading account for 4/5 years. Split my investments across large companies that pay reasonable dividends and newly listed companies on the 'unregulated' FTSE AIM index.
My advice would be to stick to the large 'proven' companies as very small companies are for those with a 'pot of money' if you know what I mean! Invest in AIM at your peril!

I have been investing in Sirius Minerals for the last 2 years. Loads were bailing out the day before the planning application to build the potash mine went before the North Yorkshire National Park Planning Authority; the shares dropped to around 9pence each and its application was passed by 8 votes to 7.....luckilyI bought a modest number. They are 21p at present and the company is moving from AIM to FTSE 250.

I was recommended this share SXX at 6p, and didn't take it as there was so much negative vibes about not being able to mine it due to its location. Well done for having the balls to invest. I am in GKP, REM, LGO, SOLO and MONI on AIM, all down at the moment.

The other company I have invested heavily in is James Fisher. Bought most of my shares around 900p and they have hovered around 1550p to 1620p for the last 18 months. They also pay 2 dividends a year.

Both the nuclear and the submersible divisions are looking to rapidly expand in niche markets in those sectors. I am of course not recommending to anyone to buy but I will be investing some more.

I am also about to buy Japan again (via Lindsell Train Japan Fund) and sell my South America at a tidy profit.

Been dabbling in shares for a few years now, always seem to just miss the boat sadly.

We started a few years back with SOLg - Solomon Gold - bought at 1p and currently trading at 42p - Its been back to 2p this year though. Mates have made 10's thousands on that stock, sadly I jumped at 13p........worth keeping an eye on.

Also Marl - Mariana resources - another mining company - keep an eye on that, up and down, but some decent money to be made as each drill stream can bring anything to the surface and the stock rises and falls accordingly.

Got to look at long term investment in both those stocks though.

As for forex - mate of mine has a robot trading forex for him across lots of different currencies, bangs Β£200 in and lets the robot work its magic, doubles has cash each time but then gets greedy, ups the robots ability to trade more and loses.

Not sure if the robot is legal, so please feel free to remove if need be.
