£30
I have never played the stock markets, but I made a somewhat similar toe dipping investment in crypto currencies at the start of this year and my only take-away from that (since I'm not gonna be taking a Lambo away anytime soon) is that making this kind of small investment just leads to disappointment.
When things are up you get frustrated you didn't make an investment with a couple more zeros on the end (especially if you know people that have got that kind of size of investment) and when things are down, yeah it's nice you're not loosing too much but you don't even have the memories of when you were up loads to buoy you through the hard times, it just seems like you pissed some money against the wall and like you'd have probably had a better time drinking that £30 or buying some bike parts with it etc.

As you can see from just this small sample, most people don't do well at trading - they probably give up too easily; who knows. Make it a hobby and enjoy. I'd recommend Spread Betting, especially since the new margin rates were introduced to protect the non-pro's.
FX is good generally, EU/$ moves predictable, has a tight spread and sufficient volatility.
Keep away from WallSt (DJI) right now, I've seen grown men cry - come to think of it, I've been one of them ;-)

Truth be told I'm just more interested in learning how it all works than I am looking to becoming a trillionaire in under 6 months.
I think I've have a whack at £30 on Trading 212 on FOREX and see how I get along.
