Hi all...
I am absolutely new to this. While I do own shares, but they were all either gifts (bought in my name as gifts) or a few IPOs that I invested in - but all in all very small amounts.
I am looking to get into online trading in very small way - well within my limited means - not as a way to get rich or anything like that - just to buy and sell and see if I am lucky enough to make a small profit.
I am looking for reputable online agencies to start with. Just read up about Reliance Money, Sharekhan, Kotak and ICICIOnline. The Reliance demo was not working :annoyed: which put me off right away. So what do you folks who do this on a regular basis - but not as a profession - recommend? I am ok with computers, so that should not be a problem - at least I hope not!
I have also read some of the threads here - quite interesting stuff! But a lot to learn. For a newbie like me - what would recommend I do? How should I start? What are the things I need - softwares, websites, things to look for etc etc...
Many thanks in advance for your help and advice.
See you folks around.
BTW, I am only interested in the buying and selling of shares - no futures, no derivatives...nothing too complicated like that - no commodities either. Gosh! I don't even know whether I am using the right terms or not. Anyways, I will appreciate all the help that you folks can offer. Thanks.
