The markets are the worlds biggest Casino, although you can stack the house in your favour - sometimes!!!What's the easiest/cheapest platform for investing small amounts, a little dabble in some of the stuff which comes up here?
I'd only do small amounts and it would only ever be an amount of could lose and it but be an issue; but there's some fun to be had but the looks of it as well as money - and it's not just luck either - unlike scratch cards etc.

MrsTSS has decided she wants to start buying into bitcoin; she very nearly just had a problem with a probable scam!
What is the easiest and most secure way to put small amounts (£200 or so every now and again) of money into it?
Cheers
Edited to add; she's gone Etoro as it is the easiest to get involved in.
Gone vertical that SFM. Whats the story there ?Mine for the year are BABA (Alibaba) $123.23 and SFM (Sprouts Farmers Markets) $28.57.
I am pretty big on both, but as ever DYOR.
Heard mixed things about eToro. Read the reviews. Cheapest, but has many downsides.MrsTSS has decided she wants to start buying into bitcoin; she very nearly just had a problem with a probable scam!

MrsTSS is impressed with the knowledge on here. She's been telling me SFM has been trending!Absolute sound financial fundamentals and growing quite quickly - but steadily - and has done so for many years.
Plus appears to be undervalued by the market in comparison to its rivals.
Also just announced a $600m share buy back.
DYOR research as I could be wrong.
Hurricane energy up massively since Xmas, and probably some way to goMrsTSS is impressed with the knowledge on here. She's been telling me SFM has been trending!
She's asking me to ask for anything for her to have a look at. She'll do additional research etc (as far as she's able to) but needs a starting place and you lot are a source of knowledge.
Please don't worry about anything going wrong - these aren't life savings etc. She's just having a bit of fun with what is effectively loose change - small amounts of money left at the end of the week.
Cheers for any tips

Paulco?Rule no. 1 friend. Take no notice of chat boards in the trading game.
Take little notice of a company broker/nomad
Take even less notice of the amateurs on here. Herd followers and tea leaf readers most of them.
And like most gamblers. we only tell folk about the successes.
Good luck
Sitting still at the moment (which in current market is good!!). Expecting news any day now on the Cuda acquisition and drilling planned and funded for August.So....
How are everyone's tips doing??
Currently 250% up on Hurricane. Want more though and it’s still massively undervalued. Expected it to rocket after the AM contract extension news - RNS last Friday just before close, but it went down Mon & Tues unbelievably. Up today. Hopefully that’s the start. News of the last lift shortly and get the bonds paid off if Brent value holds. There’s also a deal in place now with BP to have payments up front if needed. Looking very good for 2022, especially now the drive is to be independent from Russia for gas & oil.So....

I class that sort of stock as Gambling - not a criticism just how I see it - and I do the same on other stocks.Currently 250% up on Hurricane. Want more though and it’s still massively undervalued.

About 75% lol. Only because I sold a load in September. Bought back into some. Appreciate it’s a higher risk than some. Always been like that for me.I class that sort of stock as Gambling - not a criticism just how I see it - and I do the same on other stocks.
If you took your total investment portfolio, including available cash - what percentage have you risked on this??
Just seeing if I am a scaredy-cat etc
So to be clear...About 75% lol. Only because I sold a load in September. Bought back into some. Appreciate it’s a higher risk than some. Always been like that for me.
What's that in?8% in my biggest holding.
Just the stocks, from what I’ve put back in. Cashed out the rest. Actually, bought a few more couple of weeks ago, so prob about 60% HURSo to be clear...
75% of your entire wealth and pension is in that stock?
Great post!We bought a shoulder of lamb reduced to £4, punched holes in it and filled with anchovies, garlic and rosemary, tasted amazing. So if your investments go tits up just remember a tasty meal with your nearest and dearest is priceless and if your investments go well the best thing you can buy is freedom and independence from worrying about money.
No dividend ?Avacta
