I started doing some share trading about 15 years ago. Did some research, but not a huge amount. Signed up to online share dealing, and started with about 2k to play with, and added another 4k over the first couple of years - gambling money I could afford to lose if it all went tits up.

Stuck mainly to larger companied (FTSE 250 type). Continued researching, but didn't believe everything I read or heard too much. Pretty much used common sense, and took the view it something sounded too good to be true, it probably was!

As I got experienced, I moved to a more diverse spread of equities, and did quite nicely and got up to about 40k by this time last year.

I had made some astoundingly astute buys, and some exceedingly bad buys, luck helped that a couple of really good ones made a lot of money.

I took the view that markets were going to fall over the next 12 months, so sold 80%, and bought government stocks (gilts), and pretty much put my feet up waiting for the downturn which duly turned up.

I decided to create my www.financial-spread-betting.com site  in order to share my experiences both exciting and frustrating, as I tried to make money trading the financial markets.
