Hey /wsr/.
I was wondering if you would be able to best advise me. I'm looking to start investing, I recently purchased and sold my first stock and made a tidy £400.
I'm 22, I have no major debts outside of paying up a car. I am currently working an IT job making just over minimum wage in the UK, so considering how easy it was to make £400 even though it was probably luck, I wanted to get some genuine advice because whenever I ask my parents I am more or less told its really risky and they compare it to gambling. Is it? From what I can tell I'm only really losing money if I sell for less than I buy...
Some general advice for starting out with investing would be greatly appreciated, what is the best platforms for investing in the UK and what not especially for someone starting out. I don't have a lot of experience in finance but this is something I definitely want to improve on.
