I've always wanted to get into stocks and have a wee flutter. A mate mentioned setting up an isa trading account with my bank and trading through that?(RBS) no idea if its good or bad. Never knew where to look before really. So anyway as im waiting for my username coming through the post i've been reading up on where to invest some pennies. Im not gonna put loads of money in, maybe £100 in one stock and £100 in another. Its a start! So i've been through all the pages on this thread, what an exciting ride for RRL!! So i see you guys expect it to rise by the end of the year, would you think if its not gone up that much more at the end of the week it would be a good investment? What about banks? RBS are on abit of a low at the moment, can only go up really. I'll be looking at long term and short term investments, RRL for short and RBS for long?
