if you are in it for the short term dont buy shares as the commission is too high, only buy shares if you plan on holding them for a week or longer.

if you want to do day trading take a look at spread betting, but be careful and cut your losses and dont roll with them, it gets scary :bigcry:

Yea still not sure about spread betting, but might take a looky in the near future.

You are doing well well getting i on DES @ 30p now ~50p (~65% rise in a few days!!!). I have seem HAWK & JLP do the same in the space of a few days only to get knocked back down after the MM's scare the day traders into selling their stock.

Good luck :beer:
