  • £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.

    Dare I say it, but if it's for interest crypto is surely a better way to go.

    What stocks can you buy with £30?

    Even if you can what are the min settlement fees?

    If you're looking at fx similar issues probably apply, but surely the price movements are just way too small? How as an individual, manually trading, can you make any money on that?

    At least with crypto you can use small amounts of money in an insanely volitile market, and (depending on the platform) have relatively cheap leverage.

    Similar TA principles will apply (assuming you 'believe' in TA), which can then be applied to regular trading.

    Still I'd say you need £300 rather than £30. But at least with crypto you can start trading with £300, even if you're just using x3 to x5.
