Thought I'd start an investing tread as there is already a 'buying your own home' thread
I put any spare cash stocks and shares rather than invest in the low-return / low-liquidity of property.
City boys would probably scoff at my minor portfolio but as I'm only a home trader without any specialist knowledge or large reserves - I can't take huge risks but my returns are are beating the average and its definately makes more sense than having mortgage even with paying rent.
I don't really have any special tips for picking stocks, I just pick companies I use myself and think doing good work.
But I do apply some 'value investing methods' setout by the likes of waren buffet
(but my maths isnt really up to it)
I also put all my eggs in one basket and watch that basket like a hawk, none of this hedging/diversification lark - I don't have the time and I don't think the stochastic returns really standup
I use the execution only share dealing site for all my orders
cheapest place ive ever found for onetime only deals

If anyone has any stock tips, good places to get info, deal shares etc
post below
