Investing The Stock Market

[Fidgits]

okay, im tempted to invest in the stock market...

and because of my job, im more in tune with whats happening on the Nasdaq than the FTSE..

Has anyone any experience of buying/selling from the Daq - can i get it done anywhere? or do i need to go through a specialist broker? can anyone reccomend a broker?

really, just looking for some help - since this is my first outing on the markets, well, apart from my stock options, which are precisley worth-$12

You'll need to shop around the brokers Ian. Many of them have a minimum trade of $5,000.

I use Charles Stanley (branches nationwide)

I use American Express for trading on the NYSE, although you can trade on all major markets including NASDAQ.

Very simple to use and all online: http://www.sharepeople.com/

I trade shares on Nasdaq using an Etrade Brokerage account. You deposit money into it just like a normal bank account, buy and sell your shares and any profits can either be left in the account or they can wire the money to UK bank account.

I have used this for trading some company stock options for the last 8 years and find them very easy to deal with.
